CHAPTER ONE 

THE NEW REVELATION 

HE search of the race today is to 
discover the undiscovered states 
within the self; the new field of 
conquest is the conquest of the individual, 
and through this conquest to find new and 
fertile fields of power outside of the self. 

The olden mystics wrote: "Get wisdom, but 
with all thy getting get understanding," and the 
New Age is to be one replete with full fledged 
understanding; "Back to the source" is the 
slogan of the New Age, and men know at last 
that within their own mind there lies, only half 
revealed, the true center of wisdom. 




io HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

The new revelation shows that life is suc- 
cess or failure, happiness or despair, peace or 
strife, not by external surroundings, but through 
consciousness, either constructively or destruc- 
tively posited. 

The past, with its scientific, philosophical, 
and religious fundamentals, built a civilization 
which became the picture in form of these 
fundamentals; by these, the race has lived and 
ordered its whole existence; but in this modern 
rise of race intelligence, many old fundamentals 
have been outgrown, while the vast majority 
of them are being shredded to fragments by 
the increasing intellectuality and spirituality of 
the race mind. Mankind as a unit is demand- 
ing a larger vision and a truer idea of life. 

Mankind will keep for its use all that is 
best and holiest in all civilizations, but it 
will not fear to thrust aside half truths to 
grasp the whole, nor to reject that which is 
not fit material with which to build the 
structure of its new world. 



THE NEW REVELATION u 

The men and women of the olden world 
were human men and women, and a civiliza- 
tion arose to fit these states of consciousness. 
The race had expression only in the physical 
and mental sides of mind; man lived and 
phrased and objectified himself from the 
levels of consciousness with which he was 
familiar. 

The new race is human still, living in a 
human world, obeying the laws of physical 
and mental being, but it has risen into the 
transcendental states of its own consciousness, 
speaking with a new tongue, a new language, 
manipulating its common human life with the 
laws of a superhuman understanding; living, 
clothing, feeding, and evoluting itself and 
others not alone through physical and mental 
knowledge, but from the higher states within 
which produce Revelators, Prophets, and 
modern Mystics. 

The New Age will not reform man, it will 
unfold him and change him through this un- 



12 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

foldment. The new race consciousness is not 
based upon reform but upon change from the 
center. 

The new race consciousness working from 
within, outwardly, will gradually displace the 
old ideas and old conditions. A new civiliza- 
tion must arise, not through strife, but through 
the finer law of mystical displacement. 

In the new race consciousness men will not 
fight for their fundamentals or die for them, 
they will live with them ever alive in their 
minds, while with word, song, pen and brush, 
they sink them into the old race mind, until 
from the man with the hoe, to the higher 
illumined mystic there will come a subtle 
inoculation of New Thought ideals. 

Out from the old civilization, individuals 
will collect together, in higher thought and 
purpose, then through collective individuality 
new cities will arise, and from these cities, 
new states, so that at last the combined 
influence of these collective individualists 



THE NEW REVELATION 13 

will control, direct and shape the American 
civilization. 

Gathering around this higher law of civi- 
lization the expressions of human life will be 
different. The New Race will hold in its 
hand "the Key to Health, Wealth and Love 
and Usefulness"; the key to anything in life 
is only the understanding of its finer laws. 

The New Race will be well, it will have 
everything, not through any metaphysical, 
mysterious, hidden method, but through sane, 
sensible, human laws, brought about and 
operated through the transcendental power 
of man's own mind. 

The First Fundamental from which higher 
perfection will rise is the one of the Atomic 
Mind of Substance or Universal Intelligence. 
Man at last sees himself a nucleus of Mind 
surrounded with Mind. He sees every form 
of life as simply levels of mind made visible 
in form. Every manifested thing, even man 
himself, becomes a part of the one Universal 



i 4 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

Intelligence, everything seen or unseen, is 
simply a Kingdom in the larger Kingdom. 
There is nothing in life but spirit mind and 
spirit form; or intelligence, force and substance. 

The mineral, vegetable, animal and human 
Kingdoms are as one great whole, each in- 
vested with the intelligence and form of its 
own Kingdom. The form of each is but a 
robe or material through which the centralized 
consciousness passes on and on to increasing 
levels of Universal mind. 

Man is man, and not a mineral, nor an ani- 
mal nor a vegetable; he has passed through 
these levels, and his consciousness is posited 
at a more inclusive level. He has thrown 
around himself atoms with intelligence attuned 
to the form of human consciousness. 

Man looks at himself today in a new light; 
he finds that he is a composite body of intelli- 
gence drawn from the kingdoms through which 
he has evolved, and has within himself the 
exact polar opposite of everything that is 



THE NEW REVELATION 15 

without himself. He is the microcosm in the 
macrocosm. 

He left the mineral only when its very 
highest law had been fulfilled and he took 
with him its master cells as the nucleus for 
his manifestation in higher form. He stands 
then, Lord of the mineral, for all the wisdom 
of the mineral consciousness is within his own 
body. He is the plus cell of this Kingdom. 

He left the vegetable kingdom when the 
same law had been accomplished, then in the 
animal kingdom he passed through this same 
law of inclusion, and stood out in the level 
called Man the super cell of all Kingdoms 
through which his consciousness had evolved. 
He stands now, Lord of the mineral, Lord 
of the vegetable, Lord of the animal, while 
to this he adds the intelligence of the human 
level. He thus has formed a nucleus of power, 
making him Lord of all the lower kingdoms 
of consciousness, he becomes the grand man 
of the Universe, or a master mind working in 



16 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

power through, and with, all levels of the 
Universal mind. 

Standing in this world of God Intelligence — 
(Himself a god) Man is the master mind in 
the world of mind, it is for him to com- 
mand, every external thing must obey because 
he is positive in his consciousness to the 
atomic mind of substance, either singly or 
collectively. 

The Mystic has written, "And God said, 
Let us make man in our image, after our 
likeness, and let them have dominion over 
every creeping thing that creepeth upon the 
earth. So God created man in his own image, 
in the image of God created He them." And 
again, "He shall eat of any deadly thing and 
it shall not hurt him." Why? Because the 
master cell of every Kingdom within himself, 
linked with his own human consciousness, 
becomes positive to the kingdom outside of 
himself; then linking his mind with higher 
intensity of Divine Mind, he can speak 



THE NEW REVELATION 17 

through his own consciousness as one having 
authority. 

He turns to every Kingdom then, and his 
own master mind dictates what response he 
will give to this kingdom. He can, in truth, 
"Drink of any deadly thing and it will not 
hurt him"; he can stand in the center of 
the lions' den and he is their master — they 
must lie down. Out into the very mind of 
infinite ether, he can say to the waves and 
the winds "Peace, be still," and they will 
obey. 

Man, as he becomes more and more familiar 
with the atomic mind, grows more cosmic in 
his own consciousness; he masters the laws 
of his own body and environment by simply 
intellectualizing and spiritualizing the intelli- 
gence of his own cells; by extending his mind 
to the atomic mind of the cells of his body, 
he regenerates, rebuilds his own flesh just as 
an architect can tear down an old structure 
and following a new idea, build a new and 



18 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

beautiful architectural design, just so, man 
can tear down his old body or environment 
which he has built through the mechanism 
of destructive states of consciousness and can 
fashion for himself a new flesh, a new en- 
vironment, or both; and pass himself from a 
diseased body of flesh and a poverty-stricken 
environment into a body of health, grace and 
beauty, with surroundings of comfort and 
peace. 

Each individual has within himself the 
nucleus of master cells which he derived from 
the Kingdoms through which he has evolved: 
His own mind, linked with these cells, brings 
him into at-one-ment within his own being 
making the divine wireless, and through this 
union into at-one-ment with all that is in the 
Universe. Then by intensifying the con- 
sciousness of his cells through the power of 
his own mind, he creates or destroys form 
at will. 




CHAPTER TWO 

THE NEW REVELATION 

SCIENCE has at last succeeded in 
teaching the minds of men that 
*3 all substance consists of atoms of 
finer and finer vibratory rates of motion and 
that these Absolute atoms become localized 
centers in space, attracting other atoms, 
which, in time, become localized in form, 
thus giving us embodied universal substance. 
Man, as we know him today, is the highest 
form of localized universal intelligence on 
this plane, a center of atomic intelligence. 
He is a specialized attracting vortex, and 
through his own understanding he may be- 
come a manipulator of all life's forces; he 
may create his own atmospheric environment 
and control and direct whatever he desires 
into objective expression. 



20 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

His thoughts become the tools with which 
he reaches out into formless, universal in- 
telligence and fashions from his own atmos- 
pheric environment the things he desires. 

If an individual does not know his own 
natural relationship with this universal sub- 
stance, and is unable to recognize the Truth 
of his own power of personal creation, he 
separates himself from power and his life 
becomes the expression of the lesser things 
which he has fashioned for himself. 

When he can be taught to recognize his 
oneness and go into the Universal Energy 
with the thought tools necessary to create, 
he sets this energy into action for himself. 
Energy set into action must become embodied; 
and since under this law it can embody only 
in man and his environment, the energy 
stimulated into activity registers upon him- 
self and his physical world. 

For those who know and understand this 
law, the Universal Intelligence has become a 



THE NEW REVELATION 21 

great reservoir or storehouse of formless 
substance from which the finite mind of man 
may create the things he desires; this substance 
is always waiting to be acted upon; man is 
the actor; his thoughts are the instruments 
with which he reaches out into its Atomic 
mind, and he creates through recognition the 
things which he holds in his mind. 

No one gives to him but himself; no one 
takes away from him but himself; the infinite 
reservoir is always open; "Before you call, 
I answer; Ye have not chosen me, I have 
chosen you," is the promise of the ages. 

Standing in the very heart of the Infinite, 
man has within himself the power to wave 
the magic wand of mystery. It is for him to 
command; he is the highest expression of 
consciousness on the earth plane; the formless, 
infinite intelligence must obey him; he stands 
on a pinnacle of supreme authority while the 
very silence around him whispers, "What is 
thy will?" 



22 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

Jesus the Christ man taught us this sublime 
law. He talked with wind and waves as men 
would speak with men. He said: "Peace, 
be still/ 1 and they obeyed Him. 

In this Universal Intelligence, there are 
four great levels of creation and all humanity 
desires to draw from these. If you could 
this moment hand a magic wand to every 
civilized human being on this planet and say 
to them, "Wave this, it will create for you 
from any level of your desire/ ' there are 
just four desires which would take instan- 
taneous form and these four great basic 
desires are Health, Wealth, Love and Use- 
fulness. 

No matter how we look at human longing, 
or study its material expression for attain- 
ment, we come back again and again for this 
truth; every hope, every emotion, every 
desire of the human mind, heart or body has 
its roots in one or the other, or all of these 
things; take any one away and life ceases to 



THE NEW REVELATION 23 

be perfect. Health, Wealth, Love and Use- 
fulness, these may be called the square of 
all human purpose and desire. 

There are three different attitudes which 
humanity takes toward this quaternary and 
the masters of the past said, "Know Ye not 
to whom Ye yield yourselves servants to 
obey, his servants Ye are"; and again, they 
said, "With what measure you mete it shall 
be meted unto you." The Universe is a 
mirror in which man sees reflected before 
him the vision of himself. His body, environ- 
ment, friends, situations, all become the pic- 
ture of his own conscious or unconscious 
projections. 

There are those who recognize lack and have 
a continuous thought relationship with every- 
thing which makes for a limited supply of 
substance; this attitude gives them poverty- 
stricken environments and bodies. They have 
no idea of the psychological law of recog- 
nition. They know nothing but lack; they 



24 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

have a thought world of lack and have 
never known that they could say, "Let 
there be light," over their own manifested 
world. 

Close to these, and only a little more 
emancipated is another great class; living 
about equally between lack and supply, they 
have placed themselves under the law of 
demand and supply. They build thoughts of 
abundance today and tomorrow spoil it by 
their thought relationship with lack. They 
have a degree of recognition of supply, but 
they have at the same time an equally active 
recognition of poverty. They want abun- 
dance to manifest for them, but at the same 
time they are unconsciously creating, through 
recognition, the conditions which must, by 
their very nature, divorce them from the 
things they desire. Some of this class really 
do not believe that they may have what 
they want, and I have heard them say, "I 
know I shall always have enough to keep 



THE NEW REVELATION 25 

me"; or again, they say, "I never expect to 
have many people to love me; if I have a 
few friends I am content"; and again, "I 
never expect to be real well, but if I can only 
have enough health to take care of myself, 
it is all I will ask," They are bound hand 
and foot by this idea of demand and supply. 
It has never dawned upon their minds that 
they are limiting themselves; they know they 
can have, to a degree, what they want, but 
they are careful to keep their wants inside 
the line of what they consider possible for 
them to secure. They have never dared to 
take their whole souPs desire and fling it out 
into the Universal Abundance of Supply, and 
to recognize its absolute fulfillment. 

The third class, and by far the smallest 
number, have, through experience and obser- 
vation, learned a great Universal Truth, that, 
if we want a perfect expression of abundance 
of supply on all planes, we must build a 
perfect recognition of these things into the 



26 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

great Cosmic Intelligence, and hold our life 
persistently one with this deeper law. 

We get and keep and express for ourselves, 
in body and environment, whatever we have 
the power to create for ourselves in conscious- 
ness; supply is only a condition of mind. 
Recognition of abundance today, and lack 
tomorrow; perfection in one breath and im- 
perfection the next; fear and anxiety, joy 
and sorrow; all these things will manifest for 
us in just the proportion in which we vitalize 
them. 

Our recognition is our Creator, which fashions 
for us in the intelligence of our atmospheric 
environment the things with which we relate; 
and it is nobody's fault but our own if we 
do not like the finished production. We 
could just as easily have connected with every 
good and perfect thing had we known how to 
direct our creation intelligently. 

Every life has a right to desire, and to have 
and to hold this quaternary for itself; no 



THE NEW REVELATION 27 

one says "No" to us but ourselves; The All 
Will wants us to have everything that we 
want, and will help us to secure it and aid us 
to keep it. The Universal Intelligence is no 
respecter of persons; and if we have lack 
while others have supply, there is nothing the 
matter with the Cosmic Consciousness, but 
there is something materially wrong with our 
comprehension of it. 

Every human being on this planet is born 
heir to the best that the world can give, and 
when he knows enough not to accept less 
than his innermost desires, he can think his 
way straight into the center of Absolute 
opulence. "All that my Father hath is mine," 
the Master said, and he who knows, and who 
knowing, "never once forgets the pedigree 
divine of his own soul" can wrest from the 
universe without effort or price the substance 
which he needs in the building of his own 
perfected selfhood. 




CHAPTER THREE 

HEALTH 

fE want health and must have it, 
because without it we cannot be- 
come perfect physical creatures 
and control and direct the changing conditions 
of our physical plane. We cannot drag dis- 
eased bodies with us on our journey through 
life and accomplish the great work of Him 
who sent us. The body must be free from 
pain and able to function normally on its 
own plane or we fail in the first step on life's 
pathway. 

A sound body is the first requisite of a 
sound mind, and the first step on the path 
for the initiate is to conquer disease and 
weariness of the flesh. We must see God in 
the flesh before we can find Him in all the 
changing expressions of life around us. 



HEALTH 29 



Health is the first step in the quaternary; 
we may wait for recognition of Wealth, Love 
and Usefulness, but Health we must have, 
or we lag along the journey of life and defeat 
the purpose of our existence. 

Health results from the operation of health 
laws. In order to have health, an individual 
must induce a health consciousness that ex- 
tends through every particle of his flesh; this 
is accomplished through concentration, ideal- 
ized imaging, and physical control, through 
increased mental power with sensible atten- 
tion to physical needs. The body can be 
completely changed through these methods. 
The change can be brought about slowly or 
quickly, according to the individual's own 
efficiency. 

Today we know that there are great Cosmic 
currents which make for Health, just as there 
are currents that make for heat, light and 
electricity, and that when we can touch these 
currents they rush through us, vitalizing and 



3 o HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

sustaining us, rebuilding our physical cells 
and producing for us new, healthy tissues. 
These currents of Health are capable of being 
attracted and localized in our bodies through 
our own deepening understanding. 

There are within our bodies two great 
centers for the localization of this Cosmic 
energy; one is the solar plexus center, and 
the other is the brain, with its accompanying 
thought force. 

Disease is the result of the mixed currents 
of the conscious mind, registering for a pro- 
longed period diverse and negative thought 
force. Health is the production of the higher 
Positive energy registering in the body a 
force that makes for strength and vitality. 

When one has taught himself how to control 
his conscious mind and to declare just what 
form of the Universal force he will register, he 
soon passes his life into an expression of 
wholeness. 

The individual who has perfect equaliza- 



HEALTH 31 



tion between the positive and negative forces 
of his own being has health. Health and 
disease have no relation to each other; they 
are both the products of natural laws, and 
each belongs to the consciousness that pro- 
duces them. 

The first lesson to learn, in order to destroy 
the disease body, is to inhibit all negative 
thought. In some cases this cannot be accom- 
plished without physical assistance; some indi- 
viduals are forced to complement the change 
in ideas with a complete change of surround- 
ings and friends. Friends and families, more 
often than any other things, tend to keep 
the mind in the old thought ruts. There is 
little hope of regenerating a physical body 
when the mind is allowed to drag on day 
after day in the old suggestions and ideas 
which it has built for itself and accepted from 
others. 

The mind must first be tranquilized and 
taught to retain health concepts and then 



32 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

gradually bring these concepts into a perfect 
vision of health, and in time, join all the ideas 
into one perfect vision of health, then hold 
this constantly in the field of consciousness. 

The real secret of health is revealed by 
awakening the understanding of the individ- 
ual so that he recognizes and relates himself 
with the great Creative energy of the universe; 
he first learns to know from whence he re- 
ceives his power, and then how to relate his 
physical body with it through his own mind 
and thoughts; his thoughts then become his 
Creator, and they create for him in flesh just 
the things he commands them to create. 

The idea centers of the individual are the 
active agents of regeneration. Ideas have 
definite centers in the cortex of the brain, and 
all physical expression is brought about by 
this chain of cortex centers. 

All mental states are registered in the 
flesh; grief, fear, worry, despair, anger, hate, 
resistance, anxiety, condemnation are all nega- 



HEALTH 33 



tive, destructive ideas. They weaken the idea 
centers of the brain, and when these states 
are persisted in they communicate themselves 
to the flesh until a complementary body of 
inharmony is established, which continues as 
long as the states of mind remain. To anti- 
dote this, the individual must raise his ideation 
and in this process he brings about a new cell 
registration. 

In diseased minds the ideas necessary to 
create new physical conditions, or for the 
restraint of abnormal conditions, which are 
already created, are weak — sometimes even 
absent. Two ideas cannot occupy the mind 
at the same time, and the negative, unhealthy, 
abnormal ideas must slowly be crowded out 
and replaced by positive, constructive ones. 
It takes more than a few incoherent thoughts 
of health to crowd out the old negative ideas. 
Health will only come to the flesh when one 
has become able to build for himself a health 
consciousness, and a health consciousness is 



34 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

built through thoughts of love, peace, joy, 
nonresistance and tranquillity. 

The full regeneration of the body is brought 
about through the daily renewal of the mind, 
and the secret of this renewal is through a 
contact between the life cells of the body and 
the individual's consciousness. The switch- 
board where contact is made is in the idea 
centers of the physical brain. Here energy 
is generated and sent out and the patient's 
effort is to get his "Idea switchboard' ' under 
control. He does this by beginning to cen- 
tralize his thoughts and intensify his idea 
centers, thus sending strong, decisive currents 
through his flesh. 

In the ordinary diseased individual the idea 
centers of his own mind are in wild disconnec- 
tion and strife, while body, emotion and mind 
are in a state of separation. The idea centers 
and the body centers are driven on in a 
wild explosion of electrical energy which only 
over-stimulates and then paralyzes through 



HEALTH 35 



over-stimulation, but does not completely de- 
stroy, while it defies the positive regenerative 
processes. Through concentration and con- 
trol of his own ideas, the cells of his body can 
be subjected to normal changes. 

When the idea centers and the vital life 
centers are in accord, the disease cells are 
electrocuted through the electric currents of 
the individual's own mind, and the life cells 
of his flesh build a new body to fit his new 
state of consciousness. 



CHAPTER FOUR 

HEALTH 

^/^ll^HEN we have taught ourselves to 
llAw^If/ reco g n * ze nothing but the strong, 
positive currents and ideas, and 
have decided that we will register only the 
force that makes us well, we come into a 
condition of thinking where the mind gene- 
rates a vitalizing energy which reconstructs 
the whole physical body. 

That health is a part of the Universal life, 
and exists to be used, just as do light and 
heat, is a truth that will, in time, be recog- 
nized by the many. But it does not yet 
admit to scientific proof sufficient to be 
brought to the minds of all men. With our 
present limited metaphysical knowledge, we 
can no more prove nor fully explain how 
healing is accomplished, through conscious 



HEALTH 37 



thought-connection with the healing currents 
from the battery of life, than we can prove 
how the electric currents run along the line, 
nor how the blade of grass grows, nor how 
the red creeps over the robin's breast. But 
healing does come and abide with those who 
learn the power of this Cosmic union, through 
their own mind becoming a conscious center, 
and it hangs its signals of health on the body- 
in signs too plain to be misunderstood. 

We should never be sick, never could be 
sick, unless we had sometime, somewhere in 
thought, recognized inharmony in the Abso- 
lute, and then allowed this negative energy to 
persist for us until it registered in our form. 

We first allow the recognition of disease to 
get possession of our minds, and then we hold 
fast to a fixed idea of disease until it manifests 
for us. 

Sometimes we are born into disease and 
open our eyes in pain and suffering, because, 
somewhere, in our soul's orbit we recognized 



38 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

the laws of inharmony which could embody 
only as imperfect physical conditions. When 
we are born into an inheritance of disease we 
can be sure that our lines of life have related 
with those who have behind them, somewhere, 
stamped into the Cosmic pattern a long line 
of perverted thinking and thought recognition 
of disease. Nothing happens; everything is 
by natural law, and behind every deformed 
hunchback, or diseased body, there stands the 
Nemesis of the negative energy which it has 
created somewhere and forgotten; but the 
Cosmic proof is indelible, and to the end of 
the chapter that body carries out the regis- 
tration. "We come the reaper of the things 
we sow," and interior thought-force must — 
and will — in time manifest corresponding 
external conditions. 

We connect with this life current, or we 
lose our connection, by the power of our 
minds; first, through will, then through faith 
and at last through consciousness. Our physi- 






HEALTH 39 



cal bodies are at the mercy of our thoughts; 
they must register the energy with which we 
connect and vitalize into activity; and if we 
see sickness instead of health, limitation in- 
stead of freedom, we drag negative energy 
into our beings and lift it into expression in 
our bodies and our environment. 




CHAPTER FIVE 

HEALTH 

HE ordinary individual seeking health 
comes to us with a false position 
toward the things of his personal 
life, which attitude puts him out of harmony 
with Life's finer relations. He has built him- 
self away from the center, and is busy living 
under the conflicting laws of the external 
plane. The laws of this plane are change and 
decay, and at last, overwhelmed by an ex- 
pression he does not understand and cannot 
conquer without understanding, he grows dis- 
couraged and exalts it into a position of power 
over him. 

Disease can never manifest for one who 
consciously fills his mind with the recognition 
of the Universal All Health and the creative 
power of his own thinking; he who sees noth- 



HEALTH 41 



ing but all health interiorly and then passes 
his seeing into his external world and teaches 
himself to look, with wide open eyes, into the 
face of disease, seeing behind it and around 
it and in it, the perfect God-image of whole- 
ness, will become free from any disease with 
which he is related; and if he is in health, 
he will forever abide in the expression. 

When w r e can displace the fixed idea of 
disease, both in the Absolute and the apparent, 
with the fixed idea of health, we have estab- 
lished our relation with the latter, and it 
cannot refuse to manifest for us. 

When we teach ourselves to believe in health 
in greater persistence than we ever believed 
in disease, we polarize our lives in at-one- 
ment with infinite consciousness and we pass 
through life in a grand master position, whose 
every expression is one of perfect health, 
perpetual opulence and divine realization. 

After we have seen the Truth of the Abso- 
lute law of health we must then incorporate 



42 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

this Truth into every act of our daily lives. 
It is not enough to believe this, but it must be 
actualized, for the law of life is certain, and as 
soon as one has born into his consciousness a 
perfect ideal, he must actualize it or he loses 
it. The penalty, most certain and sure, is 
that, a realization, not actualized, leaves us 
and degenerates our power of action just that 
much more; our first step after realization of 
this All Health Truth is to pour it through 
every avenue of our daily living. 

There are many who do not know that the 
little things of life are disease-producers, and 
that by the recognition we give them, we 
become related to the negative energy they 
represent. 

It is not often that things within our own 
beings disturb us into inharmony; it is the 
way those inner things of ours are met by 
those around , us, and the amount of self-ex- 
pression our environment allows. This con- 
tinual warfare, which is called existence, 



HEALTH 43 



wears out the life that has not learned its 
psychological connections, and attempts to go 
on, unconscious of its finer relationships. 

The sick are nearly always modern Don 
Quixotes, fighting a world full of their own and 
other people's imaginary troubles; they go 
out to meet these negative, destructive things; 
they really see them afar off and go and 
welcome them, and then sigh in despair when 
the full force of their relationship falls upon 
them. 

One of the first steps in correct recognition 
for health and strength and power is not to 
resist anything; stop fighting; agree with 
your adversary quickly; let everything go, 
and in its own way, until you can develop 
yourself to where you can control and direct 
all things. There is no use running after 
anything; no use holding on to anything; 
in the last analysis, effort is not necessary. 
Effort is for those who do not know any 
other way, but to the awakened soul it is 



44 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

a fooPs method which it leaves behind in 
growing consciousness. 

We do not go with things which are dis- 
tasteful to us, but we cannot gain a thing by- 
resisting them. It was written ages ago by 
One who knew, "Come unto me and I will 
give you rest; take my yoke upon you and 
learn of me, for my yoke is easy and my 
burden light/ 5 

The important step for actualization is to 
get Easy in the every-day life; no matter 
what we are doing or where we are, we must 
know it is just the place we built for our- 
selves, or we should not be there. 

No one is to blame for it but ourselves; no 
one put us there but ourselves, and if we do 
not like it, we can leave it, in just the hour 
we come into a higher state of recognition. 
We created ourselves in our present rela- 
tionships of body, environment, everything; 
through desire in the past we must kiss the 
lips of our own will today. 



HEALTH 45 



We meet "our own" at every turn of our 
path, and "our own" is just what we attract 
to ourselves through our own recognition. 
If we do not like our creations, we can re- 
create ourselves on the planes of a new con- 
sciousness so high that these old conditions 
will fall from us like a worn-out cloak which 
we unclasp and drop from our shoulders. 

We can go right on in our present environ- 
ments agreeing with our adversary, and, 
through conscious thinking begin then and 
there to build a new kingdom for ourselves; 
and after we have really vitalized it into 
life, we shall be led into relationship with it 
on the external plane. We then and there 
pass the simple act of thinking into a fixed 
power and build into consciousness, intel- 
lectually and spiritually, the body and environ- 
ment we desire. 

We know that the All Will wants us to have 
everything that we want, and we can get it 
just as soon as we are developed enough to 



46 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

work with the tools Life puts into our hands 
at birth. When we have fully decided this, 
we take our want of health into our soul and 
putting away care, fear, anxiety, caution and 
disbelief, we walk on each day in a calm, 
serene faith, doing with our might what our 
hands find to do, living in the Eternal now, 
creating our own through the power of in- 
tensified recognition, and never laying down 
our desire until it manifest for us in our ma- 
terial body* 

We first get free interiorly from our old 
thought bondage. How can we ever hope to 
become new when we wrap ourselves round 
with the graveclothes of our dead yesterdays? 
We cannot. There is no use fearing anything; 
no use regretting anything; we can look right 
into our every action and love it and call it 
good. We did the best we knew how; if we 
had known better, we would have done better, 
and the dead past can bury its dead alone, 
we need not be forever at its funeral. 



HEALTH 47 



If we have done the best we know and in 
spite of this we get a bitter experience from 
something that follows, there is no use being 
morbid, discouraged and sick over it; all we 
need to do is to begin again, in the light of 
the higher knowledge that our experience has 
given us; each year of our lives will see us 
passing into a deeper and deeper compre- 
hension. We have been told by the sages of 
old, "Blessed is he that condemneth not 
himself in that thing which he alloweth," and 
condemnation and resistance are at the root 
of every disease-laden body. 

"We are not conquered till we yield, and 
yield we need not; not while God like mists 
from grass shall wipe the stains of our battle- 
fields from every morning that He brings to 
pass." 

We need to teach ourselves to look forward 
to each new day with a pure delight of living; 
we need to rid ourselves of every haunting 
thought of disease and lack of power, and to 



48 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

vitalize ourselves, outwardly and inwardly, 
with new motives, new hopes and new joy of 
endeavor. New courage, new love, new wisdom, 
these must become our Celestial creed. 

We must learn to lift our individuality and 
hold it in such an expression of power that 
all men will recognize it and be stimulated by 
it. There is no such thing in Health, Wealth 
or Love as the utter sinking of self; it is not 
usefulness, but foolishness. We must first 
learn to be honest with our own soul, then 
we are ready to look some other soul in the 
face and be honest with it. "In all things 
trust your own soul, for this is keeping the 
commandments." 

When we get health under this law of har- 
monious self-expression, brought about by 
union with the All Health Energy of the 
universe, it is built on a foundation that 
cannot pass away; we become healed to stay 
healed, and we go each day deeper and deeper 
into the firier Cosmic relationships. 






HEALTH 49 



Feeling our inseparable oneness with the 
All Creative Energy of the Universe, we 
" abide' ' in this at-one-ment, and we build for 
ourselves new bodies so vital, so vibrant, so 
alive with the Cosmic Energy of Health and 
strength that we send forth from our beings 
radiant energy, which not only gives evidence 
of the place of power of our own lives, but also 
heals and vitalizes those who come near us. 

We are whole then, and strong and won- 
derful in our new understanding and beauti- 
fully human in our use of the laws; we are 
off the old-thought plane of disease and have 
passed with one long, conscious leap over the 
laws of pain and physical limitations; we see 
God everywhere and are healed to stay healed, 
for we are at home in the flesh. 



CHAPTER SIX 

WEALTH 

£^7aEc\f t[E do not have wealth simply be- 

IMBur|j cause at one point in our unfold- 
z&szP ment we lack the understanding 
of the laws of wealth. 

All life is law, and the price of the good 
part of life is understanding of law. Without 
the law of life we are only on the edges of 
living and are not in life itself. Jesus said: 
"Not one jot or tittle of the law shall pass 
away," 'and, "I came not to destroy the law 
but to fulfill it." Only as man can learn the 
law of his own life, can he work out his desires 
into perfect expression. 

On the path of life, like attracts like, and 
men do not gather grapes from thorns. Some of 
the race are rich today and some poor accord- 



WEALTH 51 



ing to the law they have set in operation 
for themselves and not, as the old world 
thinks, by accident. 

Poverty and riches are no things of ex- 
ternal chance or vague happening, they are 
the conditions we have fashioned for our- 
selves in our consciousness. 

The New Civilization knows that all ex- 
ternal things have their origin in the interior 
states of the mind and that interior recogni- 
tion makes exterior form. 

Poverty is the picture of one state of con- 
sciousness, riches the expression of another. 
Lack inside is lack outside, abundance inside 
is abundance outside. 

The old civilization gave the race mind the 
idea of mind as a dual force with this duality 
always in opposition, one force acting upon 
the other. These two forces were called spirit 
and matter. The old civilization held that 
matter was always the slave of spirit, always 
divorced and eternally subservient to it, as 



52 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

well as eternally at war with it. It found in 
its scheme of the Universe that matter and 
substance were evil, that everything pertain- 
ing to them was in bondage and that matter 
was always matter throughout all creation. 
It held that spirit was finer force always ex- 
istent as spirit, always good and always the 
expression of freedom and goodness. It was 
seen also that human life bounded by these 
two expressions of power was either free or 
bound according to the force to which it gave 
its intelligence. 

Under these interpretations of life the race 
understanding sank into a sense of separation 
which could only lead where it did — into 
deeper and deeper confusion and ignorance of 
the real truth. As long as the race mind saw 
in matter something evil and something only 
to be condemned, rejected and despised, there 
could be no such thing as dignity for anything 
in its realm, and allegiance to the things of 
form and matter set the seal of damnation 



WEALTH 53 



on those who were either too undeveloped or 
too developed to reject it. 

With this belief in their minds and this 
deadening law of duality in their hearts, the 
olden races dragged on, ground to dust and 
ashes between the wheels of a law set in 
operation by themselves. They tried as best 
they could to be true to a false ideal, and 
generations were born, and generations died, 
fighting an objective fight with the things of 
the world in which they had to live and a 
subjective fight with their own desires and 
necessities. 

Centuries passed and when the race mind 
stood at the very pinnacle of separation, one 
half worshipping the world of form and living 
in bondage to the manifested, the other wor- 
shipping the world of the formless and unmani- 
fested God, Jesus, the Christ was born. He 
brought with him the connecting link which 
gave the truth of life so clearly that in it 
could be seen the unity of spirit and matter. 



54 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

He brought the race a new idea, and he 
linked in one grand master stroke the whole ob- 
jective world of form and the subjective world 
of the formless. He said in words too plain to 
be misunderstood: "All that my Father hath 
is mine;" and, "I and my Father are one." 

He brought this message of unity to an old 
race mind sunken everywhere in its idea of 
separation. Only the really evoluted minds 
understood His meaning, but He stamped 
His message on the hearts of the multitudes 
and for two thousand years it has percolated 
through the race mind and in the New Civi- 
lization of the twentieth century it is more 
fully understood and interpreted. 

Jesus did not differentiate between the 
things in form and the things in the formless; 
He said: "whatsoever ye ask believing, ye 
shall receive." He knew that God, His 
Father, was All and that God had only one 
thing out of which to build the world and 
that was Himself. 



WEALTH 55 



He knew that all things were God's and that 
the race was in a world of God substance; 
that whatever it wanted or needed it had 
only to ask and receive, to seek and find. 
There is nowhere any history of a break in 
His own line of transference from spirit mind 
into spirit form. He stirred the higher etheric 
vibrations of spiritual substance and the waters 
turned to wine. He touched the higher law 
of the unmanifested substance down through 
the etheric waves; He fed the multitude, and 
projected silver into the mouth of the fish 
for human supply. 

From the invisible realm of spiritualized 
consciousness, he brought forth visible form, 
and at His touch spirit became matter and 
passed into tangible use. 

With this matchless picture of the Christ 
message, the New Civilization is awake in 
the higher idea of supply, and wealth is only 
a picture of supply the race has projected for 
itself from limitless substance. 



5 6 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

We know that all material phenomena are 
spiritual arrangements within the conscious- 
ness of man and that everything the world 
calls matter is but an emanation from the one 
substance while the finite is only in reality a 
symbol of the infinite. 

The power back of the projection into 
form is desire. This desire brings it out into 
expression; desire is the prophecy of fulfill- 
ment, "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is 
he." 

Supply is only a symbol of race desire and 
a medium of exchange which is used to give 
each life the fullest expression objectively of 
its subjective self. 

Through race evolution there came about 
between individuals and races a legitimate 
exchange of these desires in form, one gave 
to the other something he had, for something 
he had not, and they soon found that the one 
having the most desires, had the most things, 
or symbols, of desire, and that having the 



WEALTH 57 



most things, they could have the largest 
exchange. 

So barter and trade and competition were 
born into the world. If one tribe had a large 
number of sheep, and another had no sheep, 
but owned a vast number of cattle, if they 
desired exchange they could express their 
desires in trade; and if two calves were of 
more value to the one desiring them than four 
sheep, he then paid the equivalent of his 
desire and possessed the calves. 

As human desire grew more and more in 
its intensity, and the races learned finer and 
finer methods of expressing these desires, 
there came a race consciousness which knew 
nought but the desire to amass things in 
form, many desired only material possessions 
and sought only material good, forgetting that 
there were many forms of desire within the 
soul which had at some time to be expressed 
as they went on into perfect unfoldment. 
This is the state of consciousness in which 



58 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

the rich man who said: "I will pull down my 
barns and build greater, and there will bestow 
all my fruits and my goods. And I will say 
to my soul, "Soul, thou hast much goods laid 
up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink 
and be merry." 

But God said unto him, "Thou fool, this 
night thy soul shall be required of thee, then 
whose shall those things be which thou hast 
provided?" 

"So is it ever with him that Iayeth up treas- 
ure for himself, and is not rich toward God." 

Every one must come sooner or later into 
the soul consciousness which desires other 
things than the purely material, and when this 
hour strikes, the wholly material things will 
be dust and ashes in the life of those who 
possessed them these things of purely phys- 
ical pleasure will cloy and the desire of the 
soul will be for higher and higher forms. 

Centuries have passed, and centuries have 
come. The race mind has gone on in finer and 



WEALTH 59 



finer concentration in its desires and finer 
methods of expressing these desires; until 
today the symbol by which men manifest 
their desires for material expression of supply 
has taken finer centralization. Cattle, gems, 
servants, slaves and so forth, are no longer 
bartered, but every human desire among the 
higher races is summed up and symbolized 
by gold, silver and greenbacks, and called 
wealth. This wealth stands as a line of trans- 
ference between the man invisible and the 
man visible, and with it he brings around 
him and works out in form all the desires of 
himself. 

Wealth is simply the connecting link be- 
tween spirit mind and spirit form: a sub- 
stance used by man; it is neither good, bad, or 
indifferent, neither high or low, it simply is. 



CHAPTER SEVEN 




WEALTH 

HE old civilization taught that all 
external conditions came as the re- 
sult of external action and that 
poverty was the polar opposite of wealth and 
was the result of the rich taking supply away 
from the poor; it saw an individual's line of 
transference blocked by the greed of another. 
Through old-thought centuries the race be- 
lieved this inversion of the truth and crept 
on in resistance, strife and condemnation, 
never knowing where to put the blame. From 
this false premise of reasoning there came all 
the tyranny and bloodshed of the past. But 
today a veil of consciousness has lifted, and 
the new race mind sees life in its entirety and 
not in the part. One after another of the old 



WEALTH 61 



race obsessions are lifting from our belief and 
we see the deeper working out of the law going 
on everywhere in human destiny. 

All life is a school and each life is in its 
own grade; poverty is simply the lesson of 
one grade, riches the lesson of another. 

There are millions of lives on this planet 
today who are poor because they have not 
evolved to where they are able to conquer 
supply. 

The first step in the grade for the poverty- 
stricken is to learn to conquer supply and this 
conquest is brought about not from without 
but through the slow process of awakening 
individual perception, which neither the race 
nor the individual can outstrip. 

As soon as they have learned this lesson 
they pass on into the next grade where they 
learn how to use wealth, and their place is 
immediately taken by another learning the 
old lesson. Jesus said: "The poor ye have 
always with you, but me ye have not." He 



62 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

knew his place on the path and he knew the 
place of the poor. 

The New Civilization knows that there are 
now, and always will be, these babes in wis- 
dom who must be poor, and poverty will be 
their natural portion until they lift it from 
themselves by increasing unfoldment and un- 
derstanding. We see daily that if we filled 
their hands with gems and their hovels with 
comfort, there would still be only gems in a 
beggar's hands until some stirring of deeper 
recognition went on within them. 

Those who know T life understand this first 
cause oj poverty; then looking more deeply 
they see that until the last man of this race, 
and of many other races, lies dead, the beg- 
gars of earth's supply will be in our midst, 
because back of the beggars' sores and hovels 
there is still the mind, the heart, the under- 
standing of the beggar. 

The second cause oj poverty is the false 
education of the past which, instead of hasten- 



WEALTH 63 



ing race evolution, has served to keep ft in 
bondage. The church for centuries has owned 
the mind of the multitudes and the church 
has throughout all these centuries pushed 
the idea of poverty into the race mind and 
kept it there. 

The church more than any other factor, has 
helped to hold the race mind in its bondage 
to poverty, for the church has held before the 
mind of the evoluting masses the picture of a 
Christ as a leader and an idealized object for 
emulation, and it has made this picture one 
of a bleeding, broken and poverty-stricken 
Christ-hood. It has distorted the grandeur 
and majesty of the Christ life and led the 
race mind away from fuller and greater paths 
of selfhood. 

In addition to this Christ ideal of poverty, 
the church has pointed the race to their old 
God-head — a dual force — earth and heaven, 
and has given a mighty God and an angry 
devil, and all lack and suffering to this not 



64 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

too friendly God; it said, "Whom the Lord 
Ioveth, He chasteneth." 

The old race mind was too undeveloped to 
think for itself and so for ages it lived by the 
thought-force of its leaders and men built 
their lives to express these beliefs. As long 
as men believed in two forces — God and 
devil — spirit and matter — they received these 
things, for "there is nothing in all this world 
but thinking makes it so." Held in the 
bondage of the old-thoughts and beliefs, men 
created and re-created their own lack, limi- 
tations, disease and poverty. 

Under these teachings the multitude de- 
veloped a poverty-stricken cringing conscious- 
ness, and everything in form being projected 
from the inner states of consciousness, it could 
not escape the law it set in operation for 
itself, and lack, crime, disease and hovels 
came the heritage of the race-man. 

The race was taught that to be poor was 
to be spiritual, that it was "easier for the 



WEALTH 65 



camel to go through the eye of a needle 
than for a rich man to enter the kingdom 
of Heaven/ 5 living in the lie of a futurity 
which they received from St. Paul, they 
suffered on in misery, hoping and trusting that 
in some far-off future day, a heaven (if they 
deserved it by their faithful poverty) would 
be given them for their pain. 

These old obsessions of race thought and 
race interpretation held the multitude in their 
iron clasp for centuries and strange as it may 
seem, even now in the very center of an 
enlightened century, there are still many 
minds hugging to their hearts this old de- 
lusion and dragging on in penury and des- 
pair, resisting the compelling force of higher 
revelation. 

There are thousands, today poor, who 
still cling to this old tradition, only from 
false religious ardor and lack of self-investi- 
gation. 

Another obsession of the race mind is the 



66 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

one of inheritance. It is yet said by those 
who should know better: "Oh, I am born to 
be poor." They are born to be poor only as 
long as they will not, do not, or cannot, learn 
the law of supply, and while there are many 
who are born to be poor in understanding, 
there are thousands who are fast working 
through their grade and are ready to come 
out into a new action of the law. The power 
to stand still under a law, or to go on into 
relationship with another is ' within the indi- 
vidual himself, but not knowing this, he stands 
still, accepting an old condition as binding, 
when within himself there is the awakening 
power for freedom. 

The New Civilization brings a new message 
and there are many millions in these days 
who are out into a new kingdom of thought, 
bringing new laws into operation in their 
environment. 

We are poor and will stay poor only as long 
as we relate with the laws of poverty; success, 



WEALTH 67 



wealth and supply can be planned for by 
every life just as scientifically as one can build 
a house or plan a city. 

Supply cannot refuse to come to anyone 
who sets a supply law into operation; but 
he must be taught this law and brought step 
by step away from the old ideas and obses- 
sions of the past into a new understanding 
and use of new methods. 

Poverty and wealth are the results of 
interior states of mind and only as mind 
changes will material change. 

There are childish states of consciousness 
which operate against material harmony; 
worry, hate, fear, anxiety and condemnation 
are interior pivots for exterior hovels and 
wherever man rests his idea and his energy, 
substance must gather round. 

A mind that has been poised through 
incarnations in the belief of poverty and its 
power, and backs this belief in the pres- 
ent with childish states of mind, — anger, 



68 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

worry and fear — will find poverty abiding 
with it. 

Environment is only a big mirror in which 
each one sees himself reflected. A man in 
the bread line or who sleeps on the benches 
in the park, is doing so, not because circum- 
stances force him to it, but because of his 
own ignorant manipulation of the laws, he 
has forced circumstances. 

Lack will remain only as long as we have 
within ourselves the germ that intensifies it, 
and we will secure wealth and freedom only 
as we grow into it out from the natural states 
of our minds and hearts. 

We are poor because we do not know any 
better than to be poor, and we stay poor be- 
cause we are too ignorant, too weak or too 
inert, or, too superstitious to hold our life 
servant to the higher laws of life and compel 
a new physical arrangement, by an ever- 
increasing recognition of our own God-power. 




CHAPTER EIGHT 
WEALTH 

r N the old thought method there are 
five ways by which we can get wealth 
and men use one or all of these at 
different places on their path, but there is 
always one of these ways which they intensify 
above the others and this intensified way 
becomes their line of transference, through 
it they bring to themselves the worked out 
forms of their desires. 

These ways are: First, to inherit wealth; 
Second, to attract it; Third, To marry it; 
Fourth, To work for it; Fifth, To find it. 
These are all objective methods and belong 
to the age of objective individuality. 

The first method is inheritance. When 
born into a rich family we become the in- 
heritors of dead men's legacies; we come into 



7 o HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

this through the law of our own desire. Our 
ego has mastered supply in some previous 
incarnation and we chose to be born in at- 
one-ment with it. In such cases wealth and 
its conquest is not the lesson our soul came to 
learn in this life, but we came to learn some 
other lesson; sometimes the one of love, 
sometimes justice, and the use of wealth. 
This method claims many lives and it is one 
of the easiest pathways. 

The second method, attraction — comes to 
those who have finished the grade of work 
and do not yet understand the law of active 
creation for themselves. Attraction is one 
of the easiest pathways to supply. Many 
lives are at this point of unfoldment and it is 
an accompaniment of the lighter side of labor. 

There are many, who, holding fast to some 
work, attract to themselves the aid and co- 
operation of those who have conquered wealth 
and who have abundance. 

There are two kinds of possession: One is 



WEALTH 71 



passive, one active. Those under the law of 
attraction for wealth come under the law of 
passive possession; they use as their own the 
things which belong to others, and at any 
hour or at any place the owners can demand 
their own. So we find the lives under this 
law full of spasmodic possession; they are up 
today and down tomorrow, until they learn 
to make themselves one with the law of 
active possession and create and hold their 
own. 

The third method is a very popular and 
universal method. Marrying wealth; this is 
to some a noble pastime. The blase noble- 
man marries the daughter of the wealthy 
commoner and completes his line of transfer- 
ence into wealth without effort. The whole 
trend of the old civilization was to this end; 
the entire education of the old-thought woman 
was to marry for supply; women for centuries 
have lived under the law of passive possession. 
The new woman will live under both laws, 



72 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

Creation and Attraction. The long history 
of alimony and divorces easily tells the story. 
Women have for centuries sold themselves to 
the highest bidder, and sold body, mind and 
spirit for supply. To marry wealth was in 
the past, and is now, on a certain level of 
understanding the principal occupation; it 
is not confined to women alone, men caught 
in the drag-net of this level of unfoldment do 
not hesitate to take advantage of this law. 

There are thousands living in hateful en- 
vironment and unhappy associations, because 
through this law of marriage they keep wealth 
around them. There are many at that par- 
ticular point of unfoldment where they are 
either too ignorant, too undeveloped, or too 
lazy to walk out into their own independence. 
These tell their misery to every listener and 
if one asks them to come away from their 
old habits, they say, "I cannot," while some 
others look at the questioner and say, "they 
will not." But the new civilization knows 



WEALTH 73 



that they cannot will to will, because back of 
their minds certain active ideas operate to 
bind them to the laws they have built for 
themselves; they drag on, getting the higher 
unfoldment through material dependence. 

The fourth method is working for supply 
and conquering poverty through one's own 
endeavors. This is by far the largest line of 
transference and the hardest lesson to learn, 
but in this law everywhere the race works 
through the lesser levels of understanding and 
comes out into relationship with the law of 
abundance; with this struggle for existence 
there comes the development of many latent 
characteristics of the selfhood. To those 
laboring through the work plane, life seems 
hard and sometimes not quite worth while, 
but it has in it the germ of a divine realiza- 
tion which brings its own reward. 

The last and least used method is finding 
wealth. There are many people who have at 
some supreme hour of need picked up wealth 



74 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

which some one had lost. Some lives have 
made their way comfortable with the amount 
they have found, but this is an uncertain 
method and is only the objective answer to 
a great subjective momentary need. 

Begging is also a means of getting wealth, 
but it does not exist as a separate line, it 
belongs as one of the minor lines of attraction. 

All these methods were the laws of the old 
race mind, and they will continue to be for 
those who do not awaken into deeper con- 
sciousness.

CHAPTER NINE 
WEALTH 

>R have a larger vision and a wider 
inclusion and the New Civiliza- 
tion sees all these methods as 
only lines of transference over which hu- 
manity reaches its own. 

Inheriting, attracting, marrying, working for, 
or finding wealth are only material links be- 
tween man and his desires. 

The past races received wealth under these 
old methods and they took on the things 
which go with these methods — loss, con- 
tention, strife — but the new race is getting 
wealth over the same lines of transference and 
getting it from an entirely different center, 
from a new understanding of laws. The new 
race gets wealth to last forever and gets it 
in harmony and peace. 



76 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

The old race worked with two substances, 
two forces, and had a world of objective and 
subjective power. They always lived in the 
law of separation and overcoming, and as 
wealth was matter, and wealth belonged to 
the devil, there was little joy or peace in the 
possession, even after it was accomplished. 

If they inherited wealth they lived in fear 
of losing it again, or they lived in tumult 
because it might be diverted to other lives. 
If they worked for it they labored and repined 
and never were sure that work and supply 
would last, they were always in fear of losing 
their work, and with this a deadening un- 
certainty about their wealth. If they attracted 
it, they lived in the constant fear of losing 
the friend who gave it to them; if they found 
it, they never knew when they would find 
more; and if they married it they often paid 
such a big price of inharmony for it that it 
turned to dust and ashes in their grasp. 

So life went on, driven to bay at every 



WEALTH 77 



side, until at last, born of this conflict the 
deeper states of consciousness of man became 
unveiled and truth came out. 

The New Civilization, living under a new 
idea of life, brings out new methods and more 
perfected results. We begin at the beginning 
of all things in form and here we find the 
Self, linked with the Atomic mind of Uni- 
versal substance, we link our lives with the 
Universal law of supply, and then we only 
choose over which line it shall manifest for 
us. We can inherit it, and make it an instru- 
ment through which we have freedom to ex- 
press our deepest desires; we can attract it, 
and stand forever beside the life that helps 
us put our own life into harmony and use- 
fulness; we can marry it, and live with it in 
all the accompanying states of peace and 
power and love, making our own life and the 
life of another divine bliss. We can work for 
it, and with this working learn the thorns and 
heartaches of our kind; we can find it, and 



78 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

at every place on the path where our soul 
stands in deep need, we can pick up the answer 
to our prayers. We can do all these things 
only as we have found the law and worked 
out the understanding of the law which God 
seemed to have written in riddles in the 
past. 

In the ages gone by, men did not know how 
to sail the seas, or tunnel the earth, or conquer 
the air, nor was there a Burbank to teach 
them the crossing of natural laws. As soon 
as men knew more, they expressed more, and 
today all these things are made plain. In 
the law of psychological consciousness there 
have arisen psychological Burbanks who are 
working with unseen natural laws, bringing 
the race mind out into new found expressions 
of conscious power. 

We know that the consciousness of man is 
always united with the consciousness of God, 
or Universal mind, and that all possession in 
form comes through recognition in Mind. 



WEALTH 79 



There is a law of divine transference to 
every life and this is each one's own con- 
sciousness; no one need spend another hour 
in lack or need once he knows this law. His 
supply is only limited by his own power of 
manipulating the law. 

Whatever is outside our field of conscious- 
ness, does not exist for us, and the thought of 
lack and poverty, and the recognition of 
wealth, cannot occupy our minds at the same 
time. 

In order to conquer lack, we have only to 
build for ourselves a supply consciousness. 
Realization and actualization of wealth will 
not come through strife or force, but by sub- 
jective transference to the self through the 
power of the self; it comes to remain as long 
as the higher law of the self is fulfilled. 

Fine psychiatry and not exertion is the new 
race method; under this method man works 
out his old laws of lack and comes into new 
expression of power. He gets wealth and holds 



80 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

it, for it is his own, projected into form through 
the extension of his consciousness. 

Creation in consciousness is the law of the 
New Civilization and when man can create his 
own environment in his mind, he will not have 
long to wait before it gathers round him in 
form and it will grow more and more perfect, 
keeping pace with his ever-increasing under- 
standing. Just to know the Law; get opera- 
tion of the law, abide in the union of life and 
the law, and the work is finished. 

The first step toward Wealth is recognition 
of wealth, or "creation in consciousness. " 
Thoughts are like streams and each thought 
runs into its own channel and the mind that 
is given over entirely to wealth and success 
and supply creations, can have no room for 
the creation of lesser things. The mind must 
be taught to see opulence. There is no lack 
in the universe, only in the minds of men, 
nothing in the universe recognizes economy ' 
save man, and he only at one place on the 



WEALTH 8 1 



path. Man alone is capable of personal crea- 
tions so we must believe he builds his own 
laws and he either unites or divorces himself 
from his source. Wealth is a part of the all 
life and exists as substance and is capable of 
being drawn to anyone who recognizes it and 
demands it. 

There is only one substance, and man dif- 
ferentiates this substance according to his own 
recognition. We can pass this substance into 
the everyday need, or the future expectancy. 
We can create every finite thing for our- 
selves in the thought-form first, we can bring 
forth homes, business, food, travel and 
education; every success and supply must 
come out in form if we have created it in 
mind. 

God, the Great Universal Life, is no re- 
specter of persons or demands. "Whatsoever 
Ye ask," Jesus said, and it is for us to decide 
and to command; the Atomic mind of Uni- 
versal substance waits our authority; there is 



82 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

concerted action between the command of 
man and Atomic intelligence. 

God the Universal Mind, wants us to have 
whatever we want, and will help us to get it, 
and aid us to hold it as long as we want it; 
no one takes away from us but ourselves. 
As soon as we learn that this law is, then we 
must learn to operate and daily live in its 
operation. 

We must first get the idea, then push it 
out in thought- form; as long as we only have 
the idea, we have only realization, but when 
we can pass the idea into a perfect thought- 
form and hold eternal allegiance to this vision, 
we are on the path to immediate actualiza- 
tion and the allegiance will bring it into our 
environment; in this land of make-believe 
we become as little children and a child is 
the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven. 

In our consciousness we must see the 
perfect thought-picture of the thing we desire. 
Everyone knows what he wants, everyone 



WEALTH 83 



has a divine image toward which he is realiz- 
ing. No matter what our desire is, we train 
our mind to possess it instantly in conscious- 
ness, and see it perfect at all times. 

Creation in consciousness comes slowly at 
first, for the ordinary mind has not been taught 
to hold a perfect vision; the old distorted 
visions of the lesser thinking will intrude 
again and again; negative forms must be 
displaced by the perfected form with which 
we wish to be environed. 

There is not an hour in our lives when we 
are acting without a vision. We are always 
creating either the thing we want or the thing 
we do not want, and the New Civilization 
realizes the folly of creating for itself pictures 
of the things it does not want, which, when 
they appear, can only bind it closer into 
limitations. 

There are some minds that are full of nega- 
tive images, their whole field of consciousness 
is lined with distorted thought-forms of pov- 



84 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

erty and bad luck; shanties, hovels, mis- 
fortune, doubt and fear — these have been 
their daily projections and they have vitalized 
them until they materialized. 

After we begin to create in consciousness, 
some of our thought images will be crude, 
but so are an artist's first pictures crude, but 
to those who really see the vision and feel the 
law, there is no turning back and there can 
be no such word as failure. Standing fast in 
an unfaltering faith, with the vision perfect 
in consciousness, anyone can drive the new 
creation straight through their old environ- 
ment and holding it there, the Atomic mind of 
substance cannot refuse to produce around us 
in form. 

Plenty of whatever we project, or make 
believe, must come out into form, our realiza- 
tion becomes actualization and we are then 
in our law of divine transference which no 
one can limit but ourselves. 




CHAPTER TEN 
WEALTH 

must fill our whole field of con- 
sciousness with the thought image 
plenty; there is abundance of 
supply everywhere; all anyone has to do is 
to look with eyes that see, and he cannot 
escape the truth of the Divine Opulence. 
There are the billion, billion blades of grass, 
the profusion of flowers and trees, the timber, 
the mountains, the vast continents and mighty 
seas. 

All nature gives with a lavish hand, and it 
not only gives enough, but to spare; it runs 
to waste in giving. Think of the million eggs 
of the fish that are thrown out to the one that 
is fertilized and used in the law of reproduc- 
tion; think of the acorns, the nuts; only one 
here and there is needed for the greater law 



86 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

of continuation of the species; we see an 
utter, lavish giving with no apparent lack 
anywhere. 

In all this universe there is lack only in 
Man and his environment, and in the animal 
world he has subdued and made to share his 
limitations; left to themselves, the horses 
and cattle grow sleek on a thousand hills. 
In all this great world of material form 
and, abundant expression, Man alone is sad, 
sick, poor and unhappy, and he, alone, is 
conscious and endowed with power to cre- 
ate a new world from the things he "lias in 
his possession. 

Knowing this, we must believe he suffers 
from himself, and his environment can only 
be the embodiment of the things that he has 
recognized in the Universal and worked out 
for himself in physical form. 

There is not now, and never will be, any 
lack in the Universe for anyone, except in the 
degree which he recognizes it as existing for 



WEALTH 87 



himself. Had we known how to see plenty 
with half the power that we have seen lack, 
we should have displaced lack long ago, for 
plenty is registration of the positive energy 
of thought, and lack is the registration of the 
negative energy. 

No life can reach this plane of seeing and 
feeling Opulent, and creating an Opulent 
atmosphere, by allowing itself to go in old- 
thought ruts where everything speaks to it 
of poverty and under supply. 

We cannot create wealth by pinching our 
earnings and holding on in fear to the thing 
we have. If we have only a dollar, and must 
spend it, we must learn to let it go as if we 
had a thousand behind it (for we really have 
when we know the truth of divine supply 
and consciously unite ourselves with it). When 
we do not have this interior consciousness and 
try to spend our last cent, and instead of 
being Opulent we have the hearts of cowards 
and beggars, we had better hold on to it, for 



88 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

no more dollars will come when we send it 
over such lines of connection. 

The thing we fear always comes upon us; 
fear is just as direct a line of relationship as 
love; it is not the amount we spend that 
counts, but the way in which we spend it. 
When we can spend our last dollar knowing, 
interiorly, that it is impossible for us to be- 
come penniless, we then get a position which 
will not only let that dollar go, but will bring 
us another over the same line of transference. 

When a man is alone in a strange city and 
looks into his pocket-book and finds not a 
penny, the way to keep it empty is to recog- 
nize this lack and become paralyzed with fear 
and anxiety for the morrow. 

Most people do this without knowing the 
laws they are setting into motion, their very 
recognition establishes their relationship with 
the things they do not want. 

When we teach ourselves to look into an 
empty purse with the same feeling of Opu- 



WEALTH 89 



Ience that we should have if we saw a thou- 
sand dollars in it, then we have laid hold of 
the Energy that creates, and no power on 
earth can prevail to keep that purse empty. 
It is not in the doing, but in the "being 
Opulent' ' that we get the power, we must 
know how to look back of the things created 
(dollars, dimes and nickels) into the energy 
that creates, and this recognition held stead- 
fastly, brings life into relation with higher 
lines of attraction. 

When we can fully and actually incorporate 
into our minds the consciousness of infinite 
supply, and our inseparable connection with 
it, we may let go everything we have in 
the world and make instantaneous relation 
with the lines that will lead us again into 
abundance. 

This does not mean that everyone can sit 
down w r ith his hands folded and expect miracles 
to be performed for him; money does not 
manifest without material lines of transference. 



9 o HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

We have to know how to go deeply into 
the Cosmic consciousness, in perfect at-one- 
ment, before we can do all the work of the 
external plane, through the interior law of 
recognition. 

When we know the truth well enough, we 
need never do anything on the physical plane, 
for "the unseen things are the real things"; 
but until we come to this point of Knowing, 
we can go on fearlessly in any condition in 
which we find ourselves; we can take up any 
line that is congenial to us, and over the 
lines with which we connect materially, there 
passes back to us the abundant supply. 

There are two avenues of transference to 
every life; one is the plane of competition 
and the other the plane of divine transference. 

Those who come into the abundance of 
supply, come under the laws of the plane of 
divine transference and his banker is Uni- 
versal Mind; those who recognize lack and 
limited supply are on the plane of competition 



WEALTH 91 



and their bankers are men often as limited 
as themselves. On the latter plane, this power 
of seeing Opulently is as exact a law as on the 
plane of divine transference; but abundance 
of supply on the competitive plane is spas- 
modic; one is rich this year and poor the next; 
there is no peace nor power of possession; but 
under the law of Divine Transference we get, 
we have and we hold forever. 

The plane of competition is the everyday 
world of cause and effect, and the working 
out of getting and taking from ourselves and 
others; the plane of divine transference is 
the one of Universal recognition of supply, 
and the working out of our own and another's 
rights on the plane of receiving and giving. 
On these higher, spiritual and intellectual 
planes of consciousness, the lines never cross 
nor tangle, but each one runs directly home to 
the center of self and over the same line on 
which we send out our inspired desires, there 
passes back to us the answer to our prayers. 



92 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

The plane of competition is where the ma- 
jority of mankind are working; they are under 
the law of get and take, an eye for an eye, a 
tooth for a tooth; although two thousand 
years ago, the greatest of all teachers told 
them over and over the law of Divine Trans- 
ference, and brought to the race a new dis- 
pensation of non-resistance and cessation of 
effort. 

There are lives everywhere working under 
the old law of the plane of competition and 
sighing for the results which only the law of 
Divine Transference can give. They are like 
the chickens in this familiar story. 

A woman who had a great love for poultry 
decided that she would go into the chicken 
business, so she rented a small piece of land 
and gave up her time to the production of 
the finest possible breed of hens. During her 
years with the fowls she gained a great deal 
of practical, even metaphysical knowledge. 

In relating some of her many observations 



WEALTH 93 



and experiences she said: "Chickens are just 
like human beings, they have the same desires 
and they make the same mistakes and suffer 
from the reaction of their ignorance just as 
we do; I never feed the chickens, but I find 
something to use as a lesson for myself. 

''Whenever it is time to feed them I take 
a huge pan full of many good things which 
chickens like and placing it in the center of 
the yard, call them. Some of them are near, 
some of them are far away, but at the sound 
of my voice and call, they all come running 
'pell mell/ Some of the hens which are 
nearest the pan, grab a mouthful out of it and 
run away toward the corner of the yard, and 
others seeing them with a piece of food in 
their mouths chase wildly after them, totally 
ignoring my call and the full pan of food 
just before them. 

"Before many minutes all the hens are out 
in the farthest corners, away from the food, 
fighting, scrambling and tumbling over each 



94 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

other in their attempts to secure the morsel 
which was in the mouths of the few, entirely 
unconscious of the big full pan of supply wait- 
ing just within easy reach. 

"Isn't this the way with humans? Someone 
gets a little supply out of the great Universal 
pan and then the blind beside them begin to 
struggle with them to get possession of their 
little bit without going straight to the Uni- 
versal source itself which is always waiting, 
full and free for them to come and take; the 
Universal Good awaits our return with the 
same natural law that awaited the hens. 

"When the hens got through struggling and 
no one had anything, the pan was still stand- 
ing waiting to supply in full, the hunger and 
wants of those who found their way back, 
and I have to call them back many times 
before they satisfy themselves from the pan 
and not from the bits they wrested from 
each other." 

This story told in her simple way reveals 



WEALTH 95 



plainly the great metaphysical Law of Divine 
Transference and the plane of competition. 

The plane of competition is the mental 
field of conquest and the plane of Divine 
Transference is the soul's place of dominion. 
The battle is always on between these two 
planes, until the life chooses which it will 
serve; and when it lays hold of the higher 
law of dominion, it sees clearly the pathway 
of effort from which it has evolved. 

On the plane of competition everyone is 
seeking his own through externals and is 
always busy attempting to control and direct 
the external objects in his life; on the plane 
of Divine Transference he lets externals alone 
and goes straight into the energy that creates; 
he gets back of every created thing, and sees 
and knows and lives, in the consciousness of 
his own power of creation. He knows that 
every external thing is depended alone upon 
his recognition of higher laws, and that the 
external is always a lesser copy of the interior 



96 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

thought world; he makes himself the master 
of the psychology of action through his own 
thought force. 

It is true that man has to work with objec- 
tive things so long as he lives in a world where 
they are, but he learns to live with them, not 
by them nor in them. 

God gave to man a mind and a brain with 
which to manipulate these external things, 
but at the same time he gave him a soul 
through which to receive the stimulus of 
higher creative energy, so that his external 
human affairs might be the miniature of his 
interior world. 

As long as we direct our lives by the stimu- 
lus we receive from things outside of us, and 
from people and conditions, we remain under 
the plane of the law of competition, and never 
have a calm, sure, serene control of life, for 
the law of this plane is change, and attrac- 
tion never can become permanent for anyone 
working with this law. 



WEALTH 97 



There is no use denying the power on this 
plane of conquests. There is power, and 
great power there, for it is the place of the 
will action; but it is useless to think that we 
can pass ourselves into continued peace and 
plenty over this line of competition. 

Fear, lack, worry, anxiety, loss, despair; 
abundance now, and poverty next year; friends 
this year, and loneliness the next; attraction 
to the uttermost now, and failure complete 
in a future time; these are the trophies of 
the plane of competition and the scalps that 
warriors of this plane hang on their belts we 
can see everywhere. 

The hospitals, asylums and sanatoriums are 
overrun by those who have fallen on this 
battlefield of life. 

These conditions are the natural results of 
a natural law and belong to the lives which 
relate with them, but they can never have a 
place in a life that has learned the law of 
Divine Transference, for such a life is the 



98 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

finished product of its own thinking and has 
blossomed into peace. 

The process of interior thought-union is 
the plane of Divine Transference, and we come 
into possession, in the moment that we come 
into recognition. We must first know of the 
existence of the plane of competition and 
the plane of Divine Transference. Every life 
must learn this truth some time as it passes 
along in its unfoldment, for when it is ready 
to understand, it is brought face to face with 
someone who has graduated into this wisdom; 
or it is thrashed around on the plane of com- 
petition by its own foolish lack of under- 
standing, until, in some hour of despair, its 
soul gets conscious control and shows it a 
new way; then it is born into union with 
higher forces and life begins to change for it. 

Everything comes to us from the infinite; 
the very atmosphere in which we live is simply 
Cosmic Intelligence; it hears and answers us, 
our conscious call brings it out from its abso- 



WEALTH 99 



lute expression, and our conscious thoughts 
lift it into material form in the external world. 

When we know this truth of the Law of 
Divine Transference, we just lift our minds 
above the thought world of effort and resist- 
ance, high above the planes of recognition of 
competition; we neither know or care what 
the external conditions may be; we only 
Know what we want, and know how, and when, 
and where, we want it and remember that 
"All that my Father hath is mine." 

We forget that there is any condition that 
might have power over us; we know that the 
All Will wants us to have what we want, and 
we know that it is waiting for us in the crea- 
tive Energy, ready to burst into bloom for 
us the moment we make continuous connec- 
tion with it. God has provided some better 
things for us, and through us they can be 
made perfect. 

When we get this New Thought Position 
and have a business, it will increase along 



ioo HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

every line. If we want a new position or 
want to change our present work, we are so 
full of the knowledge of our own power and 
the abundant supply of everything that we 
want, that when we go out to ask for one 
thing, a dozen other things come along with 
it, just because we are so full of a divine 
attraction which our conscious recognition has 
built into our life. 

We know, then, that the thing we seek is 
seeking us, and we go out to meet it, fully 
expecting to see it meet us half-way. Then 
over our own external line of connection 
our abundance comes. We may inherit it, 
attract it, marry it, work for it — but come it 
must, and over any line we declare for our- 
selves, it is for us to command, form must 
obey. 

In this new line of transference we never 
take anything from another, for we cannot 
do that anyway; even on the plane of compe- 
tition, the law is that the thing we seek and 



WEALTH 101 



our point of attraction must be equal, or it 
passes us and cleaves to the one who is strong 
enough to claim it physically, mentally or 
ethically. But under this higher law of recog- 
nition the lines never cross; everything finds 
its own place, and we get all the thing on a 
plane of consciousness so high that we have 
undisputed possession of it. 

When we first come into the law of this 
plane of Divine Transference, we feel as if 
we were magnets attracting to us, from an 
unlimited source, these things we desire; but 
after awhile even this much separation ceases 
and we feel that we are the abundance itself, 
the law and the Transference. We are It, 
All in All y and are out into the kingdom of 
Cosmic dominion; our whole world environ- 
ment becomes the picture of the wealth and 
abundance which we have earned for ourselves 
by our deepened consciousness. 

We let go longings, hopings, fearings and 
anxieties and just become one in realization 



102 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

with the abundance of Universal supply; this 
must end for us in actualization on our material 
plane. 

This is the great Cosmic Law from which 
there is no appeal. When we make our whole 
attitude, one of divine recognition of opu- 
lence, everything we desire will come from 
out the external world around us and attach 
itself to our lives, and we shall express the 
fullness of peace and power and plenty. We 
cease then to look to men, but rather to sub- 
stance itself for our supply. Men may refuse 
to pay, but the law of supply never refuses; 
it pays today, tomorrow and forever, men 
must pay, when the law has spoken. 




CHAPTER ELEVEN 

THE USE OF WEALTH 

FTER the race has learned the law 
of conquest of wealth, or material 
freedom, there remains still one 
more grade to make. This is the use of 
Wealth and the law of harmonious, construc- 
tive distribution of the things it has the 
power to create for itself. 

The New Civilization sees the deeper psy- 
chology of race unfoldment and teaches from 
the deeper laws of race evolution. The lesson 
of getting wealth is only one more of the 
many lessons we are all learning and after we 
have finished this, we have yet to learn how 
to use our own creations. 

There are many thousands who do not 
understand or master the law of getting 



104 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

Wealth, and there are just as many who, after 
having gotten it> have not learned the law of 
constructive use; they are yet babes in the 
use of their abundance. Opposed to these 
there are glorified rich men and women in every 
race and every country, who are using their 
wealth for God, for man and for themselves, 
and their gigantic monuments of helpfulness 
are unveiled hourly in the benediction given 
them by the loving hearts they have rescued 
from the lower levels of living. 

There are two laws under which the race 
operates the use of wealth. One is the per- 
sonal, the other the Universal, and everyone 
passes through the personal life first and comes 
by the law of transmutation into the Uni- 
versal one. 

Wealth gives everyone the privilege of work- 
ing out himself, and in the first development, 
human life is always personal. The self is 
always uppermost at the personal place on 
the path and those who come into possession 



THE USE OF WEALTH 105 

of wealth in the self-consciousness, use it for 
the self. 

Jesus said: "It is easier for a camel to go 
through the eye of a needle than for a rich 
man to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven." 
He knew that a mind anchored in the pursuit 
of the wholly material idea would not be 
materializing the interior states of desire, and 
He knew that Heaven is self-harmony, for 
He said: "The Kingdom of Heaven is within 
you." He knew that no harmony can come 
until life has balanced its forces with universal 
laws. 

Selfishness always means inharmony because 
it means separateness, not unity; those who 
have wealth and are using it for purely per- 
sonal aggrandizement, are only students in 
the great life class in which wealth becomes 
their teacher, and through the reaction of the 
personal laws which they throw down upon 
themselves they learn their lessons and find 
the cure of the thing in the thing itself. 



106 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

We are all engaged in just one work in the 
world and that is trying to express ourselves. 
The personal minds are always selfish in their 
first expressions; they set their own pace for 
self-expression. With the wealth they have 
created, they absolutely compel other weaker 
thinkers to follow their plan. Unless we 
know where we stand in our own minds, 
there is no chance of escaping being used by 
them, and as long as the race is not anchored 
on its own understanding, this "using" is 
all right, for by the constant friction it occa- 
sions within itself, the soul at last opens its 
eyes in recognition of life's finer laws, and its 
own higher selfhood, and takes its first step 
toward self-preservation. 

Everyone in the world is working consciously 
or unconsciously toward higher and higher 
expression of himself, and it does not make 
the least difference what anyone else thinks 
about his expression, the way may often seem 
a poor way to those of us who have been 



THE USE OF WEALTH 107 

through those same methods, but, nevertheless, 
it is a good way for the one using it, and 
by it he is pushed on into fuller inclusion. 

Everything in the world is legitimate ma- 
terial for our use, we may use just as much or 
as little as we know how to use. If we are 
inclined by our lack of knowledge and selfish- 
ness to use things destructively, the Universal 
law takes its own time to fix its adjustments. 
"'The mills of the Gods grind slowly, but they 
grind exceedingly small/ ' and some day we 
meet ourself and settle the debt with our own 
coin. On the path of life, all forces must be 
equalized — if we sow the wind we reap the 
whirlwind. 

There is a part of the race which allows 
itself to be used past the point of psychologi- 
cal tolerance, on the personal plane of action, 
and this is the only way by which the finer 
forces of their own consciousness can be mined 
out. 

The personal life leads everyone from ex- 



io8 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

perience to experience, and these experiences 
become so intermingled with others' experi- 
ences, that humanity is everywhere bound 
together in the one great personal law, and it 
pays, and is paid, in its own coin. 

Whatever anyone needs for his next step 
in unfoldment, desire drives him on to find, 
and he is answerable to himself and God only 
for his selection. Back of all action is desire, 
and back of all desire is necessity. 

At one point on the path, the hearts of 
men will seek satisfaction through personal 
selfishness and exaltation of the Ego. Per- 
sonal human desires are bounded more or 
less by pain, loss, disappointment, and the 
heart-break of life, but all these form the 
ladder by which we climb past our dead selves 
to higher things. All these separate, personal 
satisfactions are the flowers of the tree of life 
whose root is Truth. 

The Universal use of wealth includes the 
personal satisfaction, it means literally — seek 



THE USE OF WEALTH 109 

first the kingdom of harmony and understand- 
ing within the self, and all these external things 
will be added — because they come as the re- 
sult of our power fully poised, tranquillized 
consciousness. 

In the true use of wealth we can have all 
our desires expressed to the fullest and live 
in glad rapture ministering to the need of 
others. 

"The river widens as it nears the sea," 
and with our own life made powerful, free and 
unlimited, we can stand as a great revolving 
light for the darkened minds of the evoluting 
multitudes. 

We know what Wealth really is, why the 
race mind resolutely demands it; knowing 
the deeper laws of conquest over it, the 
higher uses of it, we can make our lives be- 
come pathways of peace, power and wisdom, 
over which the whole human race can pass 
into abundance of supply. 

We can give of all we have, to those who 



no HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

have not; not "all we have," for that would 
again beggar us, but oj all we have, and give 
without stint, full measure, pressed down and 
running over. 

The new race mind is turning eagerly to be 
taught these new lessons and just as it grasps 
quickly the new method of conquering its 
own poverty, just so quickly can it be taught 
the higher Universal use of the wealth it has 
created for itself. 

The New civilization will live life as Gods, 
fashioning their material universe; thought 
force rightly directed will build all the energy 
that creates, into myriad forms of created 
beauty, harmony and freedom; Man is now, 
and always has been the creator of his own 
material universe, he does in truth Know 
himself divine, and can live as an individual- 
ized God, on his own self-created pathway. 




CHAPTER TWELVE 

THE KEY TO LOVE 

HE reason we do not have love is 
because we do not know how to 
get it; everyone in this world does 
exactly the best he knows how, when he 
knows better <, he will do better — loveless 
lives have little part in the great Universal 
ultimate. 

It is true that life as an initiation requires 
us to learn how to live alone, and not be 
lonely, but it should not take anyone a life- 
time to get this lesson; the whole lesson of 
life may be in one hour's passing and not 
dragged through endless years of effort and 
strife. 

We want love; nature demands it, for 
latent in every soul is the recognition, that 
love is the fulfilling of the law; without the 



ii2 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

softening and vivifying influence of love, all 
that is best in human expression sinks into 
oblivion. 

The world has need of the lover, the Poet 
and the Minister; it has a great place for 
these tender souls who pass along with their 
very beings awake to the intensifying one 
power of life, in all and through all. The 
great healer, the great physician, the great 
actor, the truly great individual, in any ex- 
pression of life, is the great lover. 

We must have all this vivifying power 
alight within our souls so that, touch life 
where we may, we shall not sink down into 
the dull gray of the commonplace, and pass 
along with inspiration dead within us. 

Those who have come into real Love never 
rest, for their whole life is filled and vitalized 
with a new power divine; they have heard 
God's call in the depths of their own being; 
they have within them from the first, all for 
which the rest of the world is striving, and 



THE KEY TO LOVE 113 

their sense of the divine Love is so strong that 
it includes all humanity. 

In the last analysis, all life is simply the 
call of heart to heart, life to life, Deep to 
Deep of being. It is truly said, "Love is the 
only thing that pays for life or makes death 
welcome/' and those who work out in the hot 
harvest fields of human effort and human 
unfoldment must have their souls aglow with 
a divine compassion, that they may be able 
to take the hand of every faltering life that 
touches their own, and speak for it the words 
of Peace *and Power and Love; speak them 
with such a strength of conviction that they 
fall like a benediction upon each discouraged 
heart, and aid it to turn around and lead on 
again to the hill-tops of a new, inspired living. 

We must have love, else how can we touch 
those whose spirits are broken? And how else 
can we give them a sunrise of glory? 

In order to find the key to Love, what must 
we know and do? When we come to the 



ii 4 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

heart side of humanity, we again come face 
to face with the most vital question. 

Everywhere hearts are laying down their 
idols under the mistaken idea of renunciation 
and building themselves with every breath 
they breathe, into the power of separation; 
the half of humanity really believes that old- 
thought nonsense, 

"One must clasp and one resign, 

One drink Iifes* rue and one its wine; 
And God will make the balance good." 

This is the cry of the loveless all over the 
world; and when we look at those who have 
loved and lost, who have stood by the grave 
of their life's dearest hope, strangers to joy, 
peace and love, who have dared to live when 
life meant only woe — what shall we say to 
them? How shall we answer the question of 
Universal possession and point to the hill- 
tops of a new hope? 

The answer is not really so hard, nor is it 
impossible to understand, for there is a truth 



THE KEY TO LOVE 115 

of love and of possession so high, that when 
we know it we look at life in a different man- 
ner than we ever could look at in the fog- 
swamps of the self-conscious plane. 

We must learn to see life in its complete- 
ness and not in the part, in union, not in 
separation. 

Under the law of life's finer relations it is 
not possible for anyone to lose his own; we 
always get everything that belongs to us, and 
when we lose a love, or fail to attract it, we 
have no right to it; we only return, or pass 
under law, the thing which, by the true 
balancing of forces belongs to another, Love 
never misses a life that has ever once con- 
nected with it anywhere in the universal 
balance. Many people have a thousand per- 
sonal little loves, and these, embodied in form, 
come to them; but they do not remain, for 
the law of the personal plane is change; it 
is only as we develop into the Universal 
union that we find love on the planes of a 



n6 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

consciousness so high that we have entire 
possession of it. 

In order to get love we must give love, and 
upon our power of giving depends our love 
supply. There are some persons whom no 
one loves, they are Ishmaels, with their right 
hand against every man, and thus every man's 
hand is against them. They are turned in- 
ward, instead of outward, they feed on the 
conflicting emotions within themselves. 

There are persons whom a few people love, 
but outside this little group they win very 
little affection to themselves. They are of 
the class who when he prayed, said: "God 
bless me and my folks, brother John and his 
folks, us four and no more." Their own love 
energy only reaches to the edge of the per- 
sonal, they have very little radiation of love 
energy around them, little magnetic force to 
attract, they live and die in the orbit they 
have marked for themselves. 

Again there are those whom everybody 



THE KEY TO LOVE 117 

loves, even their enemies must admire and 
commend them. They are the friends of the 
friendless; they are the comforter of the com- 
fortless; the companion of the gay; the en- 
tertainers of the dull, the altogether lovely, 
charming, something, which unconsciously all 
men turn unto* It is hard for them to re- 
member when they were not loved; as hard 
for them to get away from the Universal love 
note, as it is for the other to strike it. 

The way to get love is to give it, and true 
love is simply " understanding/ ' when you can 
take time from your own personal desires and 
activities to find what another person wants or 
needs, feeling within yourself the very pangs of 
his own deep longing, then can eagerly, will- 
ingly, help him to get those things which will 
satisfy his soul and make him bigger and better 
for your assistance, you love this person, and 
by these actions have passed into true love; 
you love them with the love that heals and 
binds and blesses; such love intensified through 



n8 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

many incarnations, becomes at last the Divine 
Compassion of the Master. 

Every human heart needs a confessional; 
it must speak out its needs to someone and it 
must tell about itself to someone who will 
speak back in its own language; it is this deep- 
seated need of a confessional which has sunk 
the tap-root of permanency into the Catholic 
Church. God was too far off from His own 
created world to hear our human plaints, but 
He could hear and answer through the medium 
of the great confessional Priesthood; this 
comforted the race heart of the old civiliza- 
tion until it could grow into a closer walk 
with its own God. 

\ The one who understands us the best, is 
always the lover. The perfect love oj any life 

] is that point oj conscious union where explana- 
tion ceases, "when I am with you, I am alone" 
writes one grand lover, "because you are 
simply a part of my being." 

The way of life is joy, through love and 



THE KEY TO LOVE 119 

service; we must give and do for others, not 
alone in our own way, but in the way they 
can receive and appreciate. No one can ever 
die alone who has lost his life in the life of 
humanity, for every bit of his long life of love- 
giving will come back to him in his closing 
days, to walk beside him and comfort his 
farewell to the world. 

The human love in the form of the loved 
one, is the True personal God; the Ancients 
lost the true idea of the personal God, and 
mankind has forgotten the true teachings. 
Humanity and its old teachers have only the 
letter left to worship; "God is Love" they say, 
but they forget to see him in human form; 
even though the master said: "Ye neither 
know me or know the Father, had ye known 
Me, ye would have known the Father also." 

They taught that love transformed beasts 
into men, but carefully turned the race mind 
away from the very God before them, to the 
impalpable presence of some unseen something 



120 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

which they could only touch in consciousness. 
The personal God become to them some far- 
off Majestic being, too high for human touch, 
and too cold for the warmth of needy lips and 
clinging caresses. 

Today we find the personal God in the world 
of form around us; in the sky, in the sea, the 
trees, the earth, the flowers, the world of 
bird songs; all life speaks to us in God's own 
voice. 

The "Little flower in the crannied wall" 
is only the face of God which invites our 
loving caresses; with the revealed wisdom of 
higher loving we can see that "if God is in 
the sea and sky and lives in light and rides 
the storm, then God is God although He be, 
enshrined within the human form, and claims 
glad reverence from me." 

Many there would be who would never 
come into the consciousness of the infinite 
union with their source, had they not found 
it first in the unchanging love of some heart, 



THE KEY TO LOVE 121 

which reached for their own, and which had 
loved on through doubt and darkness to the 
hour of love's own victory. "Through light 
to love, through love, Oh God to Thee, how 
wonderful the way/' 

Tragore says: 

"When I kiss your face to make you smile, 
my darling, I surely understand what the 
pleasure is that streams from the morning 
sky; and what delight that is which the sum- 
mer breezes bring to my body — when I kiss 
your face to make you smile." 

This is the celestial passion, which trans- 
lated into human life, gives man the thrill of 
his own individualized Godhood. 

So swinging around the long cycle of human 
unfoldment, we find today that the personal 
God has always been the human side of the 
divine selfhood. He is manifested in the sweet 
lips, the clinging clasp, the caresses, and the 
ever renewing love energy which flings each 
separate atom into conscious union with its 



122 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

own, and Elsie Barker says: "Truly He who 
worships the Father in the self of the beloved, 
has already acquired a soul," and Ella Wheeler 
Wilcox plusses this when she says: "Who 
Ioveth most, is nearest kin to God, " and Christ 
the Great compassionate, who was all love or 
nothing, included all the prattling of centuries 
yet to be, when He said: "If you cannot 
love your brother whom you have seen, how 
can you love God whom you have not seen?" 

There is a story of a woman who followed 
the old civilization's idea of love, and separate- 
ness, which tells well the story of the ultimate 
failure. 

Filled in her youth with a great religious 
fervor, she followed the old idea, that to 
attach herself to the human side of affection 
would divorce her from God, so she slowly 
detached herself from every hint of personal 
affection, living in the realm of the so-called 
universal love, until she became the picture 
of her own spiritual isolation. 



THE KEY TO LOVE 123 

After years of service in her way, when she 
grew old, she found herself alone with her 
ideal, but deserted by her kind; she lived in 
a small village, no one in the village ever 
entered her door. As the years went on she 
grew more and more distant, and at last 
she was left to herself, no one troubled 
about her ideal; no one even spoke to her. 
She was left alone with her God and the 
earthly conditions she had fashioned for 
herself. 

One day, after about thirty years of loneli- 
ness, the neighbors passing along the roadway 
saw crepe hanging from her doorway, then 
suddenly they came from everywhere in eager 
sympathy to do what needed to be done for 
this lonely, solitary woman. 

When they entered the house they were 
surprised to find her seated in a comfortable 
chair; well, hale, hearty and full of life. 
They exclaimed in amazement and asked, 
"But why did you hang crepe on your door?" 



i2 4 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

she answered: "Just to see what you would 
do if I were dead." 

The newspapers commenting on this story 
said: "Isn't that just like the hard, selfish, 
careless world, to be so selfish and self-centered 
that a lone woman must hang crepe on her 
door in order to get human attention or sym- 
pathy?" Yes, it looks that way at first, but 
if we look more deeply, we will find that it 
is a strange sort of individual law which will 
in any day or age allow a life to become so 
separated from its kind that it is forced to 
hang crepe on its door to call to itself the aid 
and sympathy it is secretly craving. 

The world is everywhere running over with 
hearts filled with longing. Hunger for love, 
hunger for sympathy, kindness, tenderness, 
consolation, everything begs for its own like 
the hungry eyes of a dog saying, "My share, 
please." 

The world is white with service, but this 
service is not given from the mountain tops 



THE KEY TO LOVE 125 

of spiritual loneliness, but out in the hot 
harvest fields of life where the needy walk 
alone. The Christ did not do His work out- 
side of the multitude; while He worked for 
them, He walked with them; He eat with the 
publicans and the sinners, and healed while 
He passed in the throng; when He worked 
for himself, He went alone on the mountain 
top, but His great mission was side by side 
with the world He came to redeem. 

Humanity calls for help through higher 
understanding, "hearts break in darkness, go, 
comfort them, go." Yet in the midst of all 
this great need, a human could exist who 
must hang crepe on her door as a sign by 
which she could work her way back into human 
care and sympathy. Surely the great heresy 
is separateness, and those who follow it get 
the things which belong to it. 

Today humanity is big and free enough not 
to sacrifice itself on the altar of superstition 
and tradition, and it knows that "as ye did 



126 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

unto the least of these, ye did unto me" is 
the full equation. 

The veils are dropping from our eyes, and 
God in all and through all in form, and out 
of form, is now the Truth of the real Godhood* 

We can separate ourselves from our kind 
through superstition, tradition, or ignorance 
if we want, we can be cold, apart, holier than 
thou, or aloof, from a sense of fear for the 
consequences of promiscuous association with 
the masses, or we can be small and mean, 
fault-finding, and full of resistance, righteous 
and beset with spiritual pride; and each year 
the great hungry heart of the world which 
seeks its own, will turn away from us, and 
shunt us by leaving us alone, to eat out our 
heart, in bitterness of spirit; or we can be 
warm, sweet, and so full of love that we can 
see it in each atom's strife, and bend a loving 
ear to hear what all nature's voice is speaking, 
that, "All life is love, and love is quivering 
fife/- and this knowledge will wreathe around 



THE KEY TO LOVE 127 

us and through us with such an all-compelling 
power that our looks, our tones, our touch, 
will fall like a benediction everywhere, and the 
world will come and gather around us, no 
matter where our feet may wander, bringing 
us the fruits of our life's greatness. 

Love is an all-existing energy, like light or 
heat, and it is never the individual that one 
loves, but the sensation of active energy which 
that individual sets into motion within us. 
No localized individuality has in itself the 
power to vibrate the whole of one's life into a 
continuous activity, for there are manifold 
rates of active love-energy; and it is this 
misunderstanding that makes the world run 
after affinities; there are affinities for every 
plane of expression, but when a soul knows 
the great God-Truth, it finds that there is, 
after all, but one great affinity, and that 
is the consciousness of God in the human 
soul. 

This is the Love and the Lover for which 



128 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

all life is seeking, and it is the highest rate of 
energy that can be experienced by the indi- 
vidual. The real lover of every life is God 
consciousness, and this consciousness is both 
formed and formless, and it is the desire for 
this that keeps the world of men busy in its 
endless seeking through form. God conscious- 
ness is the final destiny of every life, though 
often it is enshrined in a human form and 
claims glad worship until we pass through it 
to Absolute consciousness. 

When a life has burned itself out with long- 
ing, pain, loss and human response to this 
love-energy, it turns back upon itself and finds 
its own; and then it is again back of the 
things created (the man or woman) into 
energy that creates, and it loves love, both in 
the disembodied and in the embodied forms 
of love. Then it stands with its face lifted 
to the kisses of the infinite, it leans hard on 
the eternal heart and finds the deeps of deep- 
est loving, for it has married the man or 



THE KEY TO LOVE 129 

woman within itself and become One in the 
Cosmic law of regeneration. 

This is the marriage of the Iamb, The Uni- 
versal law of loving; and when a life knows 
this, it is never alone, it does not always ask 
for personal contact with personal affection; 
it gives love, it radiates love, because it is 
in itself love, but it is past the need or desire 
of localization, although localization follows 
naturally in its footsteps. 

For those who do not know this law, there 
is only one method by which they may come 
into their personal possessions, and this is 
by creating the Love they desire in the Uni- 
versal Energy and attracting the thing they 
Love to them through recognition. They 
must know, past all doubting, that the thing 
they seek is seeking them, whether they see 
it or not, and call to it, and it will come from 
out the silence and answer them. Ella Wheeler 
Wilcox tells the truth and the whole Truth 
in her story, "A girPs faith." 



i 3 o HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

"And so across the miles between, 

As back of dawn the sunbeams play; 
There shines this face I have not seen, 
Which yet will make my world someday." 

Those who desire love must build it for 
themselves in the Absolute, and with the 
Faith that creates, see it approaching them. 
There is no fate that can keep it away; it 
must answer a conscious call, and they will 
really find it. 

"Will meet beneath Gods' arching skies, 
While stars fade out and shadows gleam; 
And looking into each others eyes, 
Shall count the past but as a dream." 

Again, for those who have stood beside an 
empty grave which has hidden from their 
eyes their life's dearest hope, this Truth of 
Universal Union is a never failing comfort; 
it is an unwritten Truth that consciousness 
always answers to consciousness throughout 
the whole Cosmos. 

There is no death, no loss, no separation 
but in part. Our loved ones go on in answer 



THE KEY TO LOVE 131 

to the laws they have established for them- 
selves, and, higher than our human under- 
standing, they are led onward into connection 
with their own; we lose their form from off 
this plane, for it is the law; but consciousness 
answers consciousness, and we may speak to 
them and receive our answer from the very 
center of the Cosmic heart. 

Exchange of thought and manifestation of 
form are also possible on this physical plane, 
but they are abnormal expressions, and one who 
knows the higher Cosmic relationships never 
relates himself with mediums of the other 
forms of physical and psychical phenomena. 
"Blessed are the dead that die in the Lord 
(Law)," and in the law there is no mixing of 
places or currents, they are all one, but differ- 
ent in their expression, and each expression 
belongs to those who have normally connected 
with it. 

The dead have work to do, but not here, 
for they have finished with the physical 



i 3 2 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

plane and are ready to go on if we let them 
alone. 

The first to do is to take away from our 
minds any thought of separation from those 
we love; they touch the same consciousness, 
and we can feel and see them and know them; 
without physical demonstrations, love is here 
a revelation, not a distinct possession. We 
fill our minds with this great Truth, that what 
is ours we cannot lose, and if it has ever 
belonged to us, we find it again and again, 
in increasing states of consciousness. 

It is impossible to think of loss when once 
the soul has sensed the truth of infinite union 
with the All Life, for to it, death becomes only 
a little widening of lines, just a little farther 
reaching out into the Universal consciousness. 

So for us "There is no sting to death," 
and for us, "The grave has lost its victory/ 5 
"It is but passing with bated breath, and 
white, set face, a little strip of sea," to find 
our loved ones brighter, better than before, 



THE KEY TO LOVE 133 

and our field of consciousness widened, our 
understanding broadened; and we have en- 
tered into the fuller joy of a closer union with 
the Absolute; seeing All, feeling All, being 
All; then we are free in an inspired world, 
and death and loss are no longer words of 
pain and mystery. 




CHAPTER THIRTEEN 

HOW TO GIVE A TRANSCENDENTAL 
TREATMENT 

>E must go alone, if it is possible 
to do so, where we can feel the 
i-SsJS^ sense of freedom from disturbances 
and can give full surrender to the state of 
mind, thought and feeling we are going to 
induce. 

If we cannot get alone in reality, if there is 
someone forever about, then we must try to 
go into the silence of our own being; stop 
paying attention to anything or anyone out- 
side of ourself. We can go into the silence 
hanging onto the strap of a crowded car, just 
as easily as alone on the mountain top, when 
we know how, but in the beginning the stu- 
dent does not know how, outside things 
influence him, drawing him back to his sur- 
face thinking. 



TRANSCENDENTAL TREATMENT 135 

When we are alone, either in consciousness 
or in fact, then, begin to arrange our thought 
world through concentration; shut out one 
by one, all the old thoughts which have 
annoyed us, or those we have been in the habit 
of thinking. 

We are now going to induce the state of 
mind in which we want to live; we must 
choose the thoughts that will establish health 
vibrations in our body, the circulation will 
release just as soon as we can establish the 
thoughts of peace, love, joy, happiness, health 
and strength in our own mind and hold them. 

There is no use trying to go farther until 
we can pick up one big strong thought after 
another and hold it as long as we want to, 
just as long as an old worry, fear or anxiety 
thought can creep in and displace the positive 
thought, we have not yet established mental 
force enough to create anything, we will have 
to learn to play with thoughts as boys play 
with balls; take one up, lay it down, toss it 



i 3 6 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

out at will; take whatever we want in its 
place, before we will be able to make the cell 
body of our flesh take on a suggestion. We 
must have one big strong idea, two thoughts 
cannot hold the idea center at the same time. 

Self treatment is simply psychological dis- 
placement, brought about by our own mind. 
Since thoughts are things and create the 
things which are in our mind, then what folly 
to waste a bit of thought force creating any- 
thing that we don't want, no one wants disease, 
pain or poverty, and he will only escape these, 
when he learns not to recognize them in his 
field of consciousness, so, getting into the 
silence of our own mind, we begin to shut 
out every thought that does not link us with 
Health, Wealth, Love and Usefulness. We 
clean out our thought world and begin to fill 
it with the strong positive thoughts about the 
things which we do want, and which will 
make life for us the thing we wish it to be. 

After we are truly the Divine thinker of 



TRANSCENDENTAL TREATMENT 137 

our own thoughts, we can go farther; the 
next step is to build the perfect thought form 
of the thing that we want, and hold this vision 
until it comes out into actual existence. 
The Health vision: 

If it is Health we want we fill our mind with 
the thoughts which make for Health, we see 
ourselves just as we want to be, no matter 
how ill we may be; no matter how we ache 
and pain. No matter how far away from 
health we may seem, we never give this any 
thought, we just form the strong positive 
vision of ourselves in radiant health; we 
frame this vision in our mind just as the 
sculptor holds within his hand the vision of 
the figure he is going to cut into the block of 
marble before him. 

This vision must be perfect in our inner 
consciousness, we must let ourselves stand out 
in mental form, strong, radiant, glowing with 
all that fine energy of physical force which 
we know as perfect health and strength. 



138 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

This picture will only form when we have 
been able to blank out from our idea centers 
all visions of the old diseased personality, we 
must be so filled with this vision of perfect 
health in the flesh, that like the sculptor, we 
can stand before the uncut marble of our own 
flesh, and feel in it no power to drag us away 
from our immortal ideal of wholeness. 

Working then with thought tools, a thou- 
sand times finer than the sculptor can ever use, 
we stamp this vision into the cell conscious- 
ness of our body; our cells are the creators, 
they create just what we dictate them to 
create, they cannot refuse to obey. 

This picture formed powerfully, and held 
permanently in the idea centers of our surface 
mind will work itself out into the cell con- 
sciousness of our flesh, there is no appeal from 
this law; when we have trained our minds to 
think only the thoughts that link us with the 
positive ideas of all good and then merged all 
our mental force into one great focal point, 



TRANSCENDENTAL TREATMENT 139 

the vision; there is no more chance for health 
of the flesh to escape us, than there is for the 
hand to escape the flame of a fire; this is divine 
alchemy. Perfect operation of this part of 
divine mind has waited for the rise of race 
consciousness to reveal it. It is one of life's 
finer relationships. 

The diseased patient, poisoned by the dis- 
cordant vibrations which he has let through 
his body with the miasmic laden thought 
current of his mind, can with this method 
clean out all his infected currents and build 
for himself a new mind and body, which will 
bear witness to this higher law by the signals 
of glorified health it hangs in his eyes and on 
his cheeks. 

You cannot tell just how the red comes 
over the Robin's breast, nor how the blush 
comes into the heart of a rose, but it comes, 
and it comes from the great Cosmic forces 
which are pushing it out into form; just so 
the flush of health comes quietly creeping over 



i 4 o HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

the form of him who, in full at-one-ment with 
the Cosmic law, links himself with the One 
Mind in all and through all, then with his 
own mind driven straight by his conscious 
thought force, deliberately commands himself 
into perfected health. 

How to treat for supply: 
The processes of thought control are just 
the same as for health, but when the vision 
is reached there must be the perfect seeing 
of that thing which we call supply or wealth. 
What form do we want our wealth to take? 
Is it material gifts or mental or emotional? 
If it is material form that we want, such as 
a position, money, travel, home, study, change 
of scenery or environment, then we must let 
the picture of our desire form permanently in 
our mind, and live in it hourly, take for granted 
that it already exists; if it is a home that we 
want, we must just see the kind we desire and 
move into it mentally and abide; if it is a 
position, go and take it in our mind; if it is 



TRANSCENDENTAL TREATMENT 141 

a change of environment, then while we walk 
on in our old conditions we just live and move 
and have being in the new conditions; we can 
live in a dream world made beautiful by our 
own inspired thinking; this will come out 
into form in just the degree that we have power 
to intensify it in our own mind and shut out 
from our idea centers the old conditions of 
lack from which we are rescuing ourselves. 

Whatever condition or thing we desire, be 
sure that we take immediate possession of it 
mentally, spiritually, everlastingly, for all 
things are spiritual intelligence which must 
appear at our higher spiritual command. 

With our mind posited in this perfect 
desire, we become a mental magnet attracting 
to ourselves from out of the so-called formless, 
the very things we have set our thought upon; 
this is creation in consciousness. The Ancients 
knew this law, for they said: "Man shall kiss 
the lips of his own desires. " 

When we have built the perfect vision of 



142 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

our true desire in supply and hung it in the 
field of absolute consciousness, linked with 
our own mind, then we are ready to go into 
the silence for the possession of our picture. 

Wherever we posit our idea, and however, 
form or substance will gather around it. 
Plenty must come and abide with us, for we 
are one with the true law of Opulence. 

How to treat the fulfillment of love: 

The first steps are the same as for Health 
and Wealth, but the vision again differs, we 
take from our mind all thought of separateness 
and get a fixed thought of Universal one- 
ness, feeling that all life is our life, and that 
there is only one man on the path and that 
is ourself, and that our hopes and dreams are 
every souPs hopes and dreams. We hold the 
desire ready to fulfill them, both through our- 
self, and through others, with no other wish 
than the one of universal union. 

Then we stop thinking; at least stop all 
conscious thought and we will soon feel 



TRANSCENDENTAL TREATMENT 143 

the incrush of a new tenderness. Universal 
Brotherhood is only higher unity with all there 
is within and without ourself. 

This unity expressed in more acts of kind- 
ness, to the world around, will bring love from 
every source. We do something for somebody 
as quickly as we can and as often as we can. 
We turn to the first one we meet and find 
out what he needs, then help him to get it, 
this will soon pass into a great Universal 
love impulse which will drive us on uncon- 
sciously into the pathway of service, which is 
the pathway of divine compassion. 

If it is personal love we want, we just build 
the vision of the love-one into the infinite 
mind, let this vision lead on, make it our love, 
that loves us and whom we love; we may 
make it purely personal and name it if we 
like. However, it is always easier to see just 
the perfect impersonal one, and let the true 
law of our love embody it in the form, which 
will bring us higher happiness. 



144 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

Just hold the ideal man and woman of our 
dreams and we will find that in some, sun- 
expected moment he or she will come out on 
the path to meet us. 

Do not forget that we must be the perfect 
mate of this being that we are building, and 
if we build a God or Goddess for ourself, 
remember they will ask for a God or Goddess 
with whom to mate. There are those who 
build their vision so far beyond the possi- 
bility of mating with them, that should the 
real vision appear, it would flee their path, 
there would be so little in common between 
them. 

The thing we want and our own point of 
attraction must be equal and a God will not 
live or mate with a narrow tempestuous little 
creature who is at the best not yet a good 
human, and a Goddess will never stay long 
in the company of a man who has not sub- 
limed this human life into the purified at- 
mosphere where Goddesses can dwell. 



TRANSCENDENTAL TREATMENT 145 

With our own life lifted to the level of the 
thing we want, we can resolutely project the 
vision, walk on in conscious command and 
deep nor high can keep our own away from us. 

When all our creation is finished, then we 
lay every thought down and prepare to go 
into the Silence. Up to this point we have 
been creating — and have learned that we 
must think, but from here we must know that 
we are the thinker, the thing thought of — 
and the thinking in one, and in this silence 
step into union with the energy that finishes 
our conscious visions. 



How to give an absent treatment: 
When the point of visualization is reached, 
instead of seeing the Self, just project the 
perfect vision of the one whom you wish to 
heal, strengthen, prosper or comfort. See 
them in perfect possession of that thing which 
you feel is their need, or for which they have 
asked treatment; do exactly as you do for 



i 4 6 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

yourself and carry in consciousness the same 
divine desire for fulfillment, there is only one 
Self, and all selves are in It, "as Ye did it 
unto the least of these ye did it unto Me" 
the Higher Self. 

Holding them perfected in the absolute for 
a few moments, finishes the treatment, then 
merge them with your own self into the greater 
consciousness of the silence; the Law has been 
fulfilled, the work is finished. 

How often should one treat Himself? Twice 
daily; at night before going to sleep, in the 
morning before rising — the intervening hours 
are simply a process of abiding. If you can 
say, / am Health, Wealth, Love and Use- 
fulness, and see the vision - — then what is 
there to do but abide in this consciousness. 
It Is, then, let it Bel 

Absent treatments may be given as often 
as the healer feels the Call for help; the 
patient always makes the demand, and it comes 
to the sensitive healer subjectively. 



TRANSCENDENTAL TREATMENT 147 

If there is no subjective Chord between, 
then three times daily, nine o'clock in the 
morning — high noon — six o'clock at night, 
are psychical hours when transference is easy. 

Remember, it is just conscious immersion 
of the healer's mind in the One Mind, Con- 
scious dominion of all spiritual forces within, 
and Conscious command of all spiritual forces 
without through the vision, then a silence, 
still as God Himself, and a new universe 
breaks into being, over which the individualized 
God Man can say "Let there be light/' and 
there is light. 




CHAPTER FOURTEEN 

IN THE SILENCE 

^T is well to regard the silence from 
more than one standpoint of utility 
and to know that it is not only the 
point where the concentrating mind cements, 
as it were, the visions which it has created, 
but also a place for soul communion with our 
source. 

At some time or another in our lives we all 
come to a place where two or more courses 
open up for us, and we stand at the cross- 
roads undecided which way to take. There 
is no friend near to whom we can appeal; it 
is here, that one who has developed the power 
of inner communion in the silence, can rest 
awhile and find within the solution of all 
difficulties. 

This inner adviser has been named "The 



IN THE SILENCE 149 

still small voice/' "Our Guardian Angel/' 
and many other symbolical terms which have 
served their purpose to awaken the race mind 
to the existence of an inner consciousness, but 
whatever we name it, it is that guidance we 
gain when we can subject our objective senses 
and link our divine mind with the Universal 
storehouse of knowledge. 

There are many persons who know of and 
have proved this source and these have out- 
grown the books of reference and the advisers 
who have stood as their leaning posts of 
knowledge in the past; here is the place where 
all may, if they will, become at one with such 
knowledge and wisdom as could only be 
dimly glimpsed in the terms of any human 
language. Here is the source of all wisdom 
ever sung, written or spoken by the world's 
sages of all time and there is no deeper source. 
Higher than this no mind can go, and here is 
the level of uncontradicted authority. 

Where do you go when you go into the 



1 5 o HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

silence? Not one in a hundred can answer. 
The majority of students think they go into 
some mysterious, unseen, unknown condition 
or place outside of themselves, which can 
only be attained by some abnormal process 
of thinking. 

Very often the only place they go is "to 
go to sleep/' The silence for many is only 
a place for a sweet little nap. There are 
those, who in order to defend their position, 
contend that they can get all the benefits of 
the silence in that little sleep. Don't you 
believe it; they can get the physical benefit 
in a way, but sleep is not silence. When one 
sleeps he goes into the Great Silence, but he 
does not get into the great psychical percep- 
tion that the true silence brings. 

The true silence is waking sleep, and man 
consciously puts his surface mind to sleep, 
then consciously awakens himself into a su- 
preme activity. 

The silence is an induced condition of mind 



IN THE SILENCE 151 

and the only place anyone ever goes when he 
goes into the silence, is into the transcendental 
states of his own consciousness. 

There are three distinct functions of the 
human mind and we must be familiar with 
these before we can understand our own 
psychology. These three functions are, gener- 
ation of thought force, emanation of thought 
force, and reception of thought force; Gene- 
ration, Emanation, Reception; this is the 
trinity of all physical, mental and psycho- 
logical functioning. 

Many minds are always generating thought 
energy, they never rest. They never really 
stop to take in a thought from another mind, 
or from the Universal current. The result is 
that their own minds continually eat up their 
own strength and power. 

Others are always sending out thought 
emanations; they pass them directly into 
words, they talk, talk, talk, without a chance 
to consciously generate; they get brain fag 



i 5 2 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

from over stimulation of their generating and 
emanating centers. Often one can only get 
them to stop a moment and listen, by talking 
more loudly than they do, and at an increased 
word speed. 

There are others who are always receiving; 
not in the true subjective sense of reception, 
but with their surface mind. They go about 
mute, thinkless, without words. They accept 
whatever is given them; the strongest sug- 
gestion is the last one they act upon. 

The old thought mind had to be taught 
that it could think, and that it could generate 
and send out at will. The New Thought 
mind has learned that it can stop thinking 
and suspend its surface states of mind, and 
pass at will into the transcendental states of 
its own consciousness, and live in a divine 
passivity in the receptive state which it in- 
duces from choice. 

The silence is simply the transcendental 
states of man's own mind, and in these states 



IN THE SILENCE 153 

he finds that there is a plane of thought higher 
than thinking, which is registration, and in 
this condition he uses only the receptive side 
of consciousness and his own brain becomes 
then and there a wireless machine registering 
the messages in the Universal thought currents. 

In this condition he becomes one with the 
Akashic records of the Universe and all that 
has ever been emanated, generated or regis- 
tered on them is in his current. 

The silence is the open doorway to Uni- 
versal learning. "He that Iacketh wisdom 
let him ask of God" and in this suspension 
of his surface states of mind, man reaches at 
length the Great Perception through the activity 
of his own receptive genius; as silence and 
receptivity increases, he comes to trust his 
own human mind to the uttermost, for to 
him, it is God Himself enshrined. 

Many feel more in the Silence than they 
know. They pass the whole period in sensa- 
tion rather than in inception. 



154 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

There are many who cannot sit down to 
meditate, concentrate, create the vision, and 
go on into the wider reaches of their own mind 
without slipping into this period of sensation. 

The moment they become still physically, 
and mentally, they begin to awaken to a 
delightful half hypnotic sense which steals 
over them; they neither know or care to go 
farther, nor do they desire to return to sur- 
face life; caught in this dream of the senses, 
they linger half entranced; often the awaken- 
ing of the common senses and a return to 
normal active life, is accompanied with an 
almost perceptible mental effort; the lethargy 
lingers, and the quiet of sensation seems better 
than the realities of life. 

This is not the True Silence, it is only one 
place on the pathway to the higher states; 
it is good to find, but those who linger here 
are but babes in wisdom, compared to those 
who go on and reach the tablelands of spiritual 
consciousness. This is not the plane of crea- 



IN THE SILENCE 155 

tion, or of registration, it is only the sleep 
state of the subjective faculties; just as the 
objective mind must be stilled and kept awake, 
so must the sub and supra levels of mind be 
dominated before the transcendental levels of 
consciousness can be attained. 

When one reaches this zone of sentient 
silence , he must waken his thought centers 
again and come back to the level of conscious 
thinking and go out again into this sub-state, 
until he can pass with wide open soul eyes 
through the lotus land of human emotions 
within his own mind. 

It is reached by the simple knowing that it 
is and a recognition of the subjective signs of 
the state; very soon one can learn to pass 
on, taking with him subjectively, all the 
luxuriant, subtle sensations of this zone, to 
mingle with the more rapid vibrations of the 
other zone. 

Then with the surface mind and its thought 
essence mingled with the soft energy of the 



156 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

sensation zone, the Ego goes on and out into 
that limitless ocean of divine realization and 
illumination, where it is face to face with its 
God-self. 

There are those who expect to get some 
wonderful physical or mental experience in 
the silence, they listen for some voice, expect 
to hear, see or feel some exciting sensations 
through flesh and emotions, and are discouraged 
when they do not, and think that they have 
not accomplished anything. 

The true Silence is a state far above the 
sensation of mind or body; the mind and body 
are connected with concentration, creation 
and the vision, but Silence or registration is 
a function of the higher centers and the 
registration of Cosmic waves of force. 

As long as one has not ascended beyond his 
immediate states of mind and feeling, he 
receives sensations and suggestions from them; 
but when he has suspended these states and 
come into communion with his supraself, he 



IN THE SILENCE 157 

is in a condition of mind that does not register 
slower vibrations, at this point he should not 
see or feel anything, and this condition of 
absolute immersion is the true Silence. This 
moment does not last long, "A thousand years 
are but as one day" and a moment is as 
hours on these heights. 

When he again takes up his common con- 
sciousness and functions through his brain and 
flesh, his surface mind reveals to him how far 
he has been out: body, mind, emotion, will 
then vibrate and scintillate with a renewed 
energy. 

He has drank from the immortal fountain 
of power and strength and life more abundant 
is pulsing through him, but it is the surface 
mind that reveals his union and through this 
human sense he feels that in the silence he has 
been Identified. 

Do not think that the Silence is a place for 
action, as the surface mind conceives activity. 
It is an activity so high that the idea centers 



158 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

fail to register it. Just as there are waves of 
light above and below the power of sensation 
of the retina of the eye, and sound waves 
below the registration of the normal hear- 
ing, so there are levels of thinking, feel- 
ing and being, beyond the normal sensation of 
mind. 

Go into the Silence just "to be" not "to 
do." The doing ceases when you leave the 
levels of the vision, beyond this, the work 
belongs to the infinite and not the finite side 
of consciousness. 

"As I am lifted up from the earth, I will 
draw all men unto Me" said the Christ man 
of the past; and the Christ men of the present 
and the future can only lift their lower, slower 
states of being into power, in the degree that 
they may merge them into conscious union 
with their deeper Universal centers. 

In the beginning the student needs to be 
alone. He should have a time and place in 
which to begin his exercises. The first thing 



IN THE SILENCE 159 

is to take a comfortable position, either stand- 
ing, sitting or lying down, as may best suit 
him. He should then choose the attribute 
he wishes to develop and take from ten to 
fifteen minutes to concentrate on it. He should 
think of it in all its details; just what pos- 
session would mean to him; he should create 
it from the mental attitude of interior pos- 
session. If health is chosen, he should see 
himself as he would be. No matter what 
subject may be chosen, he should always see 
the perfect interior expression of it. He should 
never build anything but a perfect image, and 
feel that it is capable of being materialized 
by him. 

The next step is to begin the inbreathing of 
long deep breaths, and at every breath he 
should feel and know that he is really drawing 
to himself from an inexhaustible supply, every- 
thing he desires; and he really is, for every 
material as well as spiritual thing is one and 
exists as force in the Universal energy and is 



160 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

capable of being attracted into being by those 
who can make conscious contact. 

What shall we do with the breath when we 
go into the silence? 

This is a legitimate question asked by many. 
In the first part of the silence one should take 
deep, long, conscious breaths. Breathing into 
himself the energy that creates the things for 
which he is concentrating. 

In the second part when creating and 
projecting the vision, the breath should be 
breathed and a deep, rhythmical breathing 
established. A regular expiratory and inspira- 
tory rhythm will help to perfectly polarize the 
mind and body. 

In the third part, deep silence or immersion, 
the breath should be entirely forgotten and 
long, deep breaths usually result without con- 
scious effort. The breaths are few or very 
deep and sometimes very far apart, sometimes 
two or three in one spasmodic breath. 

It is not necessary to breathe much during 



IN THE SILENCE 161 

the immersion period, as this period is the 
period of listening, and when one listens deeply, 
one cannot breathe. Everyone is familiar 
with the bated breath of the listener and 
in the stillness of true immersion the breath 
breathes us, we become the very breath of life 
itself. 

After the student has concentrated and 
established a rhythmical breathing, he should 
feel that it is finished, and then proceed to 
pass himself into the great creative silence, 
where the thing he creates can become vitalized 
with an indestructible energy. 

After we have built the vision in our mind, 
breathed and stamped it into the Universal 
Intelligence, our personal part of the divine 
plan of attainment is finished: when we have 
done our best, with all our might we can put 
our toil of God and He will finish what we 
have begun and more than that, there is a 
universal plus given to our vision which we 
never realized until it comes out in form, 



162 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

"with what measure you mete, it is meted 
unto you," and the universal mind keeps 
strict account and often we have built better 
than we know. 

When we have finished the vision we can 
just fling it into the one mind and leave it; 
thinking on our part then ceases, it is finished 
in our world and whatever is finished in our 
world is finished in the Universal. 

So we leave this perfect thing of our own 
creation for the Universal to finish and send 
back to us over the same line of desire which 
we used to send it out. 

The Silence then becomes for us just another 
more intensified contact with Universal mind 
through our own super states of consciousness; 
we shut out from our mind all thoughts, even 
the vision itself, and blanking our mind, pass 
into a place of energy so high that thought 
cannot translate itself into form or words. 
We induce the sense of a great stillness and a 
white light; it may be that thoughts are still 



IN THE SILENCE 163 

there, but we pass them by, and our mind 
refuses to register them just as a big voice 
will blur over a register that is too dull to 
receive it. 

After while, a deep sense of immersion comes 
to us, we slip half unconsciously into a still- 
ness too deep to even be felt; a little longer 
and the stillness has us. We are not in the 
silence then, but the silence is in us, and mind, 
soul, body and spirit is all in one great vibra- 
tion blent. 

This is the energy that creates and this 
flowing through the vision, the environment 
and the body pushes our new world of desire 
into form. 

How often should we go into the Silence? 
When? How? These are the recurring ques- 
tions of the student mind. New Thought 
holds that everyone should go into the Silence 
twice daily; in the morning just before rising, 
or directly after, and at night, the last thing 
before going to sleep. This gives the life a 



i6 4 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

chance to get back to its source. Before con- 
tacting the currents of the day, and it can 
take out with it into its duties, the strength, 
poise and revelation it has included. 

At night one goes out into the big silence of 
sleep, he should go consciously into profound 
Universal Union, knowing that unfoldment 
goes on in both the waking and sleeping 
states. 

The answer to "How" is simple. Go into 
the Silence any way that is most comfortable 
to you. In the morning before arising, or 
after you awake, get a nice comfortable 
relationship with your surroundings and then 
go into the Silence. Some say that they can- 
not do this, as they immediately return to 
sleep. If this is so, then rise and get a com- 
fortable position sitting; this holds true for 
the evening practice. If sleep is apt to con- 
quer you, take the opportunity before getting 
into bed; but if you are master of your sleep 
centers, go to bed in the evening and send 



IN THE SILENCE 165 

yourself into conscious union with your source, 
whilst you have complete physical repose and 
relaxation. If these hours are not possible, 
use any hour, time or place. The Silence is 
a state of consciousness, it is simply a new 
special perception. 

The length of time is ten minutes. The 
steps are, meditation, concentration, creation — 
in consciousness, the vision, Consecration, The 
Silence (or registration). 

At the point of registration, the vibrations 
are high, and a few moments do the work of 
hours. It is on these illumined levels of mind 
that creation is instantaneous. 

Many people have been unsuccessful in 
obtaining the best results in the Silence and 
they often relinquish their efforts, when really 
this lack of result is due to many things which 
can be adjusted by the student. 

In the first place we may be sure that there 
are no imperfections contained in the Law 
itself, for those who have been able to rise 



166 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

sufficiently in understanding are using the 
power it brings as a daily guide to their lives. 
We must therefore look elsewhere for the 
reason of our failure. 

One of the first principles that must be 
learned if we are to gain our desires through 
Concentration, Visioning and the Silence, is 
patience. 

There are many who have lived the major 
portion of their earth life, before the hour has 
struck for them to know of New Thought and 
the Great Universal Law which it reveals, and 
when this time comes, and they hear of the 
new field of possibility for man through his 
ability to build his desire by Concentration, 
and become one with subjective back of all 
life, in the Silence, they are fired with en- 
thusiasm to have the Law work for them. 

Many of these get no further than commit- 
ting to memory the fundamental instructions 
of How to Concentrate, How to go into the 
Silence, etc., which are taught by the teachers 



IN THE SILENCE 167 

of New and Higher thought, and only become 
faithful seekers for a little while. 

These folk are like the gardener who plant- 
ing seeds one day was disgusted that there 
v vere no plants blooming the next. They 
forget that all the old thought training which 
they have received from childhood, has been 
away from this teaching of man's divine 
possibilities, and they wonder why they can- 
not get the perfect at-one-ment which they 
are told is necessary to perfect realization. 

The seed of the New idea which has been 
planted in their minds must be tended day by 
day; if they would only give a quarter of the 
time to the development of this new thinking 
that they have given to their "old thinking" 
they would know that attainment was for 
them. 

Be patient therefore in your practice, 
for in the degree in which you are a pa- 
tient and earnest seeker so will your attain- 
ment be. 



168 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

The last words of the Silence: 
The last step toward perfect immersion is 
to withdraw the mind from the external world 
entirely, relax and live in the full consciousness 
of power; this is accomplished by assuming a 
listening attitude. Get quiet — quiet — and 
still more quiet; listen — listen; this is the 
way to the center of being; listen — listen — 
listen; so deep you can hear your own heart 
beat. When you can hear the beating, or 
even feel fully the vibrations of your blood 
pulsing through your heart, you have come 
close into the Universal rhythm and are awake 
in the supra-consciousness of your own mind, 
and you are ready to make the great Cosmic 
union, and this union comes as a divine reve- 
lation; there is a tableland of the soul, this 
is it. 

Those who touch it, know it, and speak its 
language; those who do not, can only read 
of it — and start out on the pathway of con- 
sciousness to find it, armored by the words, 



IN THE SILENCE 169 

and guided by the signboards, their elder 
brothers have set for them. 

Some day they will find it — enter into it — 
and when they find it, they will find what they 
will never forget — the voice of the Silence, 
telling them of their Celestial God-Hood.

THE LAST M)#D 

HIS, then, is the key to Health, 
Wealth and Love and Usefulness; 
recognition first, last and all the 
time; the recognition of Divine Opulence and 
the everlasting abundance of supply; and the 
power to live, move and have being in the 
consciousness of these things, — the One Life 
in all and through all, that speaks its message 
into our consciousness. We have no sense of 
separation anywhere within us, for when we 
have come into realization of this Truth, life 
becomes one complete actualization; The Uni- 
versal Cosmic Energy works through us as 
the current runs along the line, vitalizing and 
attracting. 

With this Truth locked fast in our life, we 
do not grow cold or sad or selfish; we slight 



THE LAST WORD 171 

neither our own lives nor the lives of others; 
we are then in glad comradeship with every- 
thing in the Universe, and we speak to it as 
to a familiar friend, and it answers us. 

We have then come to the great transmu- 
tation; we love the day, the night, every 
drifting cloud; every expression of life becomes 
more beautiful and full of its own power; every 
common law of life seems then the most won- 
derful and complete, and there is nothing our 
soul lacks or misses; for we are in conscious 
harmony with Energy that creates, and it 
pushes us onward with each passing hour into 
fuller and fuller unfoldment. 

The knowledge of inseparable union, the 
prospect of Universal justice, the infinite 
progress before us in this New Thought com- 
prehension, cheers and comforts us, and the 
light of the great joy beams upon us. We are 
always well and rich and happy and beloved, 
because we have made contact with the Uni- 
versal joy of receiving and giving. 



i 7 2 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

The promises of everlasting goodness, the 
gift of unfailing supplies, the glory of a love 
that never faileth, the answer to the staggering 
upward prayers of humanity. All rest within 
our own divine selfhood. 

Nations may come and go, wax strong and 
perish into nothingness, but, still higher than 
the changing Law of time, there will always 
be the voice of the eternal God-Truth speaking 
into the souls of men. Amid the world throng 
there will always be those who, pushed by 
the power of a glorified conviction, will speak 
again and again to the multitude the message 
Health, Wealth and Love. 

Over all the seeming wreckage of our un- 
developed years, and of our weak human 
understanding, this message will sweep into 
our souls and make us calm and strong, and 
uplift us to a great endeavour. 

The voice of the Infinite is calling to us 
today, just as it has called to men of all races 
throughout all time. We know now, as clearly 



THE LAST WORD 173 

as in the past, that "No man cometh to the 
Father, except the Father draw him," and 
that just as soon as the human life looks up 
and seeks and asks, it finds; for the answer is 
already written, waiting for that one supreme 
moment when the human life shall come back 
to its Source. 

In our everyday life, we must all forever 
pass between the world of sense and the world 
of revelation, and each life takes its place in, 
and works from, and with, the power with 
which it keeps itself related. 

The power which gives man his place of 
sublime authority, is produced in his own 
thought world, and in his own human mind. 

In the minds of men there is never a dawn 
of creation for anything except the first crea- 
tive energy of Thought. Everything which 
reaches the human mind from the Cosmic 
Mind, is over the wires of transference of 
human ideas and human thought. 

The formless cannot exist without the form; 



174 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

intelligence cannot express without embodi- 
ment; and the way it passes into form is 
through the creative energy of the human 
mind, united with the laws of objective sub- 
stance. 

Every life must, by natural law, live under 
and with these two forces — the formed and 
the formless. We come into form from the 
world of the formless; we pass out again into 
the world of the formless. The physical body 
at least, goes back into forms so minute that, 
to the common consciousness, it is formless; 
and the consciousness goes on into form too 
high for common comprehension. But where- 
ever we awaken, we find ourselves face to 
face with a finite and infinite form. 

When a life first finds out this great Truth, 
that it is between these two forces, it naturally 
follows that it feels as though it was only a 
random ball caught between them and tossed 
about like a leaf in a stream. And it seems 
as if, caught in the mighty current of the 



THE LAST WORD 175 

Law, nothing could stop its journey on into 
the great currents and whirlpools of despair, 
or on to calm rivers of placid peace and power. 
But at last, drifting from shore to shore, of 
the formed and the formless power, feeling the 
limiting force of the formed, and again touch- 
ing the limitless outreaching of the formless, 
it sees and knows that it is a part of both, 
belonging to both, powerful on both, and it 
ceases its fears and tumult of mind and no 
longer asks, "God, what is man that Thou 
art mindful of him," but speaks in celestial 
joy, "I and my Father are one." 

Whenever or wherever the soul awakens 
to this consciousness, it conquers the limita- 
tions of the finite law, through the use of the 
infinite intelligence, and turning in illumined 
thinking to the formed world, we find the 
promises that have been written there for us 
and we read the handwriting on the wall of 
our own lives and are alive in a new world. 

As soon as the life finds all the power of the 



i 7 6 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

unseen side of its being, and links it with 
the All, it has made the atonement, the at- 
one-ment. 

The great Infinite Mind claims every life 
as it passes on in its unfoldment. When we 
have developed within us this Infinite sense, 
we are then newly and powerfully awake in 
the finite, and at last see that all life is One — 
only that one is the inside, and the other the 
outside of human thinking. 

The world is a field and each life in it is a 
tree, growing from Universal soil; only those 
will endure without becoming tempest- tossed by 
life's tempestuous rain and wind, who have the 
tap-root of self wrapped around the eternal, 
the changeless, and who have sunk their string 
of thought into the fathomless. 

The currents of the great Life run through 
every human life, as the electrical energy runs 
along the wire, and this active spiritual force 
quickens all the energies of the human mind 
and soul. 



THE LAST WORD 177 

Every individual life has all the universal 
life currents latent within it; and this knowl- 
edge, quickened through illumined thinking, 
brings forth the greater vitalizing spiritual 
power and lifts the life above the lesser planes 
of expression, placing it on peace-crowned 
heights of realization. 

No life can hope to manifest all the energy 
within it, all at once, until it brings it to the 
surface through the avenues of its experiences. 

All the latent energy of a life comes to the 
surface in just the proportion that the con- 
sciousness rises above the lower thought cur- 
rents of the personal, limited self. 

Everyday life, with its long train of human 
incidents, claims the attention of the multi- 
tude living in the objective unfoldment. The 
passing through these levels of thought is the 
pathway of every life. There are none who 
do not come this way, but the time we spend 
on each is of our own choosing, and today we 
know we may pass on as we become fit, and 



i 7 8 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

that this "becoming fit" lies with each one's 
own consciousness. 

These higher laws of correspondence are 
always in operation in every life, and the 
moment any soul turns around and seeks com- 
munion with its Source, it is always accorded. 
For "As many as are led by the spirit of God 
(the infinite side of self, or the Universal Self 
instead of the personal) they become the sons 
of God." 

The mind that is under the law of the lesser 
thought currents in the world, believes in the 
things of these currents; these things are pain, 
heart-ache, loss, separation, fear, despair, death, 
disease and poverty. They feel that they are 
alone in a mighty maze, where all these broken 
and destructive things are battling with them 
for conquest. They believe in limitation, for 
in this state of consciousness limitation seems 
real and fixed and never likely to be set aside. 
Not understanding the higher illumined planes 
of thinking, nor the power that is generated 



THE LAST WORD 179 

on these planes, they feel that they are bound 
body, mind, soul and spirit by conditions over 
which they have no control. 

For ages there has been written above our 
heads in flaming words, a promise that never 
grows dim, "Him that cometh unto Me (the 
higher consciousness of the Infinite) I will 
in no wise cast out," and "God having pro- 
vided some better things for you that they, 
without you, could not be made perfect;" and 
yet, blind with the tangled currents of our 
distorted lower thoughts, we could never see 
or hear it. 

It is written: "After this I beheld a great 
multitude which no man could number, of all 
nations and people and tongues, which stood 
before the throne, clothed in white robes, and 
one of the elders answered saying unto me, 
What are they that are arrayed in white robes, 
and whence came they?" and I said unto 
him, "Thou knowest," and he said, "These 
are those which come out of great tribulation. 



i8o HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

They shall hunger no more, neither thirst 
any more." For they are one with the exalted 
Law of human living, and are out upon the 
hilltops of a new found power. 

This is the New Thought Truth of living: 
Any life, no matter where it may be in the 
lesser currents, can build itself away from the 
dark lowlands of human realities, into a new 
world of peace-crowned levels of being, through 
the simple action of its own thoughts. 

There is no lot on earth so dark, so sad, so 
lonely, but when acted upon by the illumined 
consciousness, it can be lifted away into new 
paths of purpose and endeavour. There is 
no such thing as bondage in the illumined mind. 
We are bound or free, sick or well, poor or 
rich, hopeless or happy, not by our external 
conditions, but by the interior condition of 
our minds. This is the message that the 
sages have sung for ages in every song and in 
every tongue. 

From a bed .of pain and conflict with the 



THE LAST WORD 181 

cruder currents of thought, the illumined mind 
can send out thoughts that can touch the very 
center of the Universal Mind; and over the 
same line with which it connects, there must 
pass back to it the higher energy of the radi- 
ant thought spheres. 

From the very lowlands of human despair 
and human limitations, we can send our 
thoughts straight into connection with the 
source of all, and standing with mind and 
soul alive to the great mind, "every valley 
shall become exalted, every mountain and 
hilltop made low, the crooked way be made 
straight," and Io! the very path upon which 
we tread will lead us into actualization. 

Crowned, then, with the joy of a deeper 
consciousness, we no longer mourn, we no 
longer falter, we have the key to the secrets 
of absolute creation. Life is real then, and 
whole, and powerfully complete, for we keep 
our human mind united with the Great God 
Mind. 



182 HEALTH, WEALTH AND LOVE 

We can find the tired, worn out, desolate 
world lives and lift them up, heal them, in- 
spire them and transform with a new glory of 
being. 

The one who has Universal Recognition 
never grows tired of his tasks; he rejoices in 
his increasing power to do, he sees the deep of 
supply that can be given to the deep of need 
which he lives to answer. 

It is one of the comforts that the All Good 
gives to those who "seek and find," that they 
shall have this sense of peace and power and 
plenty with them always; our abundance 
begins in the very hour we sense our at-one- 
ment. 

Health comes then because we have made 
contact with it in the absolute understanding 
— wealth comes because we have touched it 
in infinite substance instead of this same 
substance in form; our checks are all cashed 
for us by the Universal; man has become only 
the human Paying Teller. 



THE LAST WORD 183 

Love joins us because we have clasped hands 
with it through conscious union with the AH 
in AIL 

God is the name of love on our lips, and 
Love is the name of God deep hidden in the 
very center of our being, — and service to 
man is the highest worship of God. 

Clothed then in rightness we walk a path- 
way fashioned from a glorified consciousness, 
and we shed our light about us as we go. 

Health, Wealth and Love, Usefulness, these 
together form the souPs immortal song — and 
with these songs locked fast in our hearts, 
our today of struggling is over — the Joy of 
Divine realization has come. 

These become forever our celestial Creed, 
and we can tell it with the voice of a master, 
no matter where our feet may wander. We 
are always the Guests of God; our steps are 
led through love, service and worship.

THE KEY TO HEALTH, WEALTH AND 

LOVE. By JULIA SETON, M.D. $1.00 net 

Have Health — Gain Wealth — Learn to Love 

Dr. Seton has written a wonderful book showing 
just how, through proper control of the mind, these 
three things can be added to all of us. 
HEALTH results from the operation of health laws. 
In order to have health we must induce health 
thoughts that extend through every particle of our 
flesh. 

WEALTH: The first step toward wealth is "recogni- 
tion of wealth." Thoughts are like streams and each 
thought runs in its own channel, and the mind that 
is given over to wealth and success can have no room 
for the creation of lesser things. 

LOVE: In order to get love we must give love and 
upon our power of giving depends our love supply.

phy of Life.

ing happiness, no matter how diverse the paths may 
seem, and that everything in life combines to make 
happiness the greatest prize of life. The subject of 
"Concentration" is discussed at a new angle and is a 
revelation of what the cultivation of the habit of 
concentration can accomplish, while the distinction is 
sharply drawn between the people who know what 
they want and go after it and those who don't and 
just loiter along. 

THE SELF IN TUNE: Freedom Talks. 
First Series. 

By JULIA SETON, M.D. 12mo. Cloth $1.00

gathered.
